Title: Good, but could be better
Review: I purchased a bottle of this rose extract from Kalustyan's, a specialty store in NYC. It is good, but not the best rose extract on the market. I suspect it is best for adding a mild, secondary flavor to delicate dishes, like another reviewer's rose ice cream.I used it to add to simple syrup for cocktails, and to add to seltzer. I find it has a soapy flavor when used in anything but the most minute amounts. This is common for many floral extracts, but it was more potent here than in others I've worked with. This should be fine if you're making lemon-rose or vanilla-rose or cardamom-rose cream dishes, but you may be disappointed with stand-alone flavor.I prefer the rose extract made by Silver Cloud Estates. It's about 3x more expensive, but worth it.
