Torsten Posted March 3, 2001 No, it can't be extracted from almonds. You need bitter almonds. These are not easy to get in australia (except the occasional one in the normal almonds). The essential oil is quite cheap and available from essential oil wholesalers overseas. You will need to buy it by the litre though. Some wholesale pastry ingredients places have a flavouring syrup which is mostly the essential oil of bitter almonds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
