LorAnn Oils—The Right Flavor, the Right Size, Every Time.

The LorAnn Oils Difference

From product quality to brand purpose—what drives us, and why it matters.

Founded in 1962 and still proudly family-owned, LorAnn Oils is trusted by home bakers, professional chefs, and manufacturers for our concentrated, professional-strength flavorings and essential oils. But our flavorings are just the beginning. We offer a wide selection of baking and candy-making essentials, including:

  • Super-Strength Flavors
  • LorAnn® Better Than Extracts™ Bakery Emulsions
  • Organic Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla
  • Flavor Fountain products for ice cream and frozen treats
  • Flexible sizes—from consumer to retail to foodservice bulk



Many of our flavoring solutions meet a wide range of dietary needs, including plant-based, gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, Kosher-certified, and organic options.

Our Heritage

A family tradition since 1962.


In 1962, O.K. Grettenberger founded LorAnn Oils, building on a family legacy that began with the Grettenberger Drug and General Store in the late 1800s. Today, we remain family-owned, creating premium flavors, essential oils, and a wide range of baking and candy-making ingredients, focused on quality, consistency, and the people we serve.

Our Purpose

At LorAnn Oils, we believe flavor transforms everyday moments into lasting memories. We’re here to help create shared experiences, blend creativity with connection, and make every bite something special.
