The TM seller trinityfoods has lots of imported stuff - maybe a question there might give you the answer you want

Get the larger bottle. Because it is strong you will only need little and will last you ages, cake stuff, chocolate making websites etc will sell them.

What do you use it for!

Does it have to be in liquide form! If not, why not use Fresh-As pineapple powder! It is a fruit powder and is fabulous stuff.
Saw it in Bin Inn yesterday. Think I'll buy it to flavour my frosting when I do a vanilla cupcake with chocolate brown/yellow colours piped on top with a pineapple lump placed on top of that.

Anyone!I've never heard of it and can't imagine what anyone might use it for.Also, I don't imagine that pineapples contain much oil, if any.
Is it an artificial flavouring!

There are natural and artificial ones. I use the natural to flavour home made chocolates (filling), slices, in baking, ice cream etc. Daughter used some to flavour her lip balms. Used the artificial in soap making.

It is basically freeze dried, so it dissolves beautifully in to your baking. I get mine from Moore Wilson, but Sabato and Farro Fresh have it as well as a number of other retailers.
I checked them out while ago but sadly the price put me off. I have three little (by size) waste disposal (huge volume). When in season I dry what I can. Ne day when they move out I'll be able to ;).

I bought a packet for $8.99 at New World in Dunedin and then saw it at a deli for $13.60.It is amazing stuff and I will buy more when we get back to Dunedin.I was very happy with NW's price.

Mm will have to check out NW as the MT Nosh prices were much much higher. But being fan of Australian Masterchef I am keen to try them.

If you check the Fresh-As site, they have a list of places that it is available. They also have a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/freshasherbs
They even do Freeze Dried Pedro Ximenez Sherry

ok i tried my local bin inn as suggested above. its not called bin inn anymore in my town but it still has all the same stuff. they had it and it was only $3 for a standard size bottle, which i thought was quite cheap. its going to be used for pineapple lump cupcakes in case anyone was interested :)

I have heard really good reports from fellow bakers using the powdered flavouring in their cupcake icings. Edited to add that they say you don't have to use a lot of the powder in the icing, so it works out really cost effective once you have bought it.

yes and I like the fact that it is freeze dried so you know what is in it! It dissolvesbeautifully in to mixes.

I had been hoping that fresh as will freeze dry kaffir lime leaves and they do, a very exciting company.

LorAnn Oils has pineapple oil - probably the one you spoke of OP.)There are also other awesome flavours).Yes, it seems expensive but 3 drops will flavour a cake or icing.Stronger flavour in icing.Well worth the money if you want a fabulous pineapple flavour.$7 approx in shops.The shop in Queens Arcade in Auckland has a wonderful range.I believe they do mail order but can't think of name of it sorry.
