Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence 241ml

Coffee Essence

Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence is a traditional British liquid coffee concentrate made from coffee and roasted chicory extract. Known for its distinctive flavour and versatility, this classic pantry ingredient has been used for generations to add depth and warmth to drinks, desserts and baking.

The essence has a smooth, slightly bittersweet coffee flavour balanced by the gentle roasted notes of chicory. Because it is a concentrated liquid, only a small amount is needed to flavour recipes. It dissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids, making it particularly useful for drinks, baking mixtures and creamy desserts where a subtle coffee flavour is desired.

Camp coffee essence is widely used in baking to flavour coffee buttercream, cakes and desserts without the need to brew strong coffee. It can also be stirred into milk or hot water for a quick coffee-style drink, or added to sauces and syrups where a gentle roasted flavour complements chocolate, caramel and nuts.

What is chicory and why is it used with coffee?

Chicory root is roasted and brewed in a similar way to coffee beans. It adds a mild roasted flavour and slight bitterness that blends well with coffee extracts, creating a rounded taste.

How strong is coffee essence compared with brewed coffee?

Coffee essence is highly concentrated, so only a small quantity is needed to flavour recipes. A teaspoon can add noticeable coffee flavour to cakes, icing or drinks.

Why is Camp coffee popular in baking?

It provides consistent flavour without adding extra liquid like brewed coffee would. This makes it easier to control the texture of cake batters, icings and desserts.

Ingredients:

Sugar, Water, Chicory Extract (25%), Dried Coffee Extract (4%).
