coconut extract

[texaspeppers]

I have this great looking coconut cake recipe that calls for coconut extract, but can't seem to find it. Anybody know where I could get some? I tried Tao, Rachelle Bery, Marché Jean Talon in the little exotic food store on the east side and Les Douceurs du Marché at Atwater market. I was sure the last one would save me but I am still extract-less (heavy sigh).

Not sure if you ended up finding it or not but I saw some at Branche D'Olivier on Wellington St. in Verdun.

If you're near a Caribbean grocer, they usually carry coconut extract, but it's usually an artifical extract. I have occasionally seen it at Persian grocery stores like Akhavan

most supermarkets have the fake stuff near all the usual baking supplies, vanilla etc.

I'm pretty sure Ares carries a variety of extracts, but I can confirm if they are natural or artificial. Good luck!

Have you tried Epices Anatol's on St-Laurent? Call first, I think they're closed on Sundays.

If Anatol doesn't pan out, try Milano up the street. I was there recently looking for Fiori di Sicilia which they don't have, but a clerk showed me a bunch boxes they had with all sorts of extracts. I don't remember if coconut was one of them, but it's certainly worth checking out.

The one place that would most likely to carry it is Vixit / France-Décor on Henri-Bourassa.

I did try Milano also, but did not know about Anatol's. It looks like a real gem. Will try it on Monday! I know Vixit too, so it will be second. Thanks so much !

Thanks kpzoo, got the extract this morning. Anatol's is amazing. Great place to have on repertoire!

Excellent - glad you found what you were looking for. It's a very cool store indeed!

I would be so happy if they could open in Quebec, at each of my trip to Montreal it is a must.
