OliveNation Pure Mango Extract 8 oz.

I make seltzer/sparkling water at home using a forced carbonation setup. this saves a ton of money, but finding good flavorings has been a little tough. I always like the Mango flavored La Croix and other brands, but most mango flavoring falls flat. This OliveNation flavoring though it really great. For a 5-gallon batch of sparkling water I add 2T of this extract and then force-carb to make the water into flavored seltzer.This product has a great fruity mango flavor, but none of the "piney" or turpentine taste of fresh mango. this extract only captures the sweet fruitiness. Imaging you have a piece of mango from fruit cocktail...that's the flavor of this extract, which is just great for my purposes.I have bought one (1) of these and will buy more when I run out, this is my go-to mango extract now for flavored sparkling water.

so often frozen mangos or fresh mangos lack that mango flavor punch and by adding a 1/2 tsp or so to the blender for frozen margaritas is what the drink needs. Will keep this on hand all of the time!

I love mango and wanted a flavoring that wouldn't be full of sugar and chemicals. This had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. What a disappointment. If you taste this straight, it has a very slight, but off mango flavor. If you add it to anything, the mango flavor disappears and you are left with an off, bitter taste. I tried adding this to water, tea and so on, and no matter how much you add, there is no mango flavor, just a bad taste. The ingredients are listed in this order: alcohol, mango essence, annatto, and water. The only thing mango about this is a very slight scent of mango. Looking at the ingredients, I checked the ingredients on a couple of their other extracts, red raspberry and strawberry. They list actual concentrates and/or juice. Raspberry: alcohol, red raspberry concentrate, glycerin, natural raspberry flavor, water. Strawberry: alcohol, glycerine, strawberry juice concentrate, strawberry essence, water. I tried these in tea, and while I didn't really care for either, at least you could tell what flavor they were supposed to be. Perhaps if they added actual many concentrate or juice, it would taste like mango. In any case, it's useless and I would never buy one of their extracts again. Really, I think you'd get more flavor from McCormick extracts, and it would cost a whole lot less.

This mango extract is pretty good, although out of three bottles I've noticed a difference in strength. I'm using it to flavor my kombucha. Because my scoby is super active and brews a batch in about 3-4 days, maybe it could just be that it's stronger from batch to batch. When the kombucha doesn't taste like vinegar, adding this and some pineapple juice is very tasty. Also, I've actually added a teaspoon to less than 2 cups of kombucha and it doesn't leave an alcohol taste, although the kombucha already makes a low amount of alcohol when brewing.I did happen across the same flavorings from Olive Nation at Walmart, and they're a bit lower in price, although not very much. If you don't mind waiting, then ordering from Amazon is probably your best bet. Plus shipping does not take very long at all, probably a few days if you order on a business day. If you happen to need your extracts in a hurry, then Walmart is a good option.So, in my opinion, this mango extract is well worth trying. Give it a whirl!

This extract works great for recipes. It's so annoying when you cannot buy it in stores. Smile Amazon to the rescue!

Just a small amount will do. This is the next best thing to the real thing, and some may say better because there is not mess, and no calories.(other than those you add), and it wont spoil.I love it and my son said he cant wait to try some recipes of his own.

That's all. If you like peach, get the mango.

Nothing better than to pull ice cold towel out of your cooler on the hot Arizona day on the golf course and wipe down with the mango flavored towel it is spectacular.
