OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
Falling for Tonka is inevitable : its olfactory kinship with vanilla and cocoa makes it a balmy, powdery delight. The first sparks of greediness almost conceal a floral, finely spiced hint, evoking carnation. Sometimes approaching honey, the fragrance reveals an irradiant accord, like dry hay. The final bouquet is vertiginously addictive: woody and smoky, it is accompanied by a mysterious marine effect, finely iodized and crystal clear.

In food
CoE number : 178
*The CoE number is a European number of alimentary products. It is essential to be able to use them in food, without it, you are not allowed to consume them. Le Sourceur rejects any responsibility in case of non respect of these rules. Our alcoholates are also very concentrated in alcohol, it seems that they are ideal to use to create syrups, cocktails or any dish to be eaten cold, especially desserts. On the other hand and after many tests, their flash point seems too low to be of any interest in a hot dish, unless added after cooking, just before serving. Be careful with their use in the kitchen, too much of them can be dangerous. If in doubt, contact a specialist.
Our recipes
We recommend the Tonka bean alcohol for a small perfumed touch, but use it sparingly or risk tasting your dish several times before enjoying it. Also be careful with its alcohol content, especially for children. However, it should be noted that the alcohol is food grade.
Some ideas of recipes in which to integrate our Perfumed Spirit of Tonka :
