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
  • Better-Than-Extract 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 are plant-based, gluten-free, sugar-free, diary-free, kosher, and organic—designed to support a wide range of dietary and labeling needs.

Our Heritage

A family tradition since 1962.

In 1962, O.K. Grettenberger built on his family's legacy—the Grettenberger Drug and General Store, established in the late 1800s—to create LorAnn Oils, a company specializing in premium flavors and essential oils. Still family-owned and operated, we continue to craft exceptional flavors with the same dedication to quality, our people, and the community that started it all.

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.
