200 proof (≥99.7% ABV), pure ethyl alcohol with zero additives. This USDA Certified Organic food grade ethanol is a clean, neutral solvent designed for applications where purity, consistency, and organic sourcing matter. It contains no denaturants, additives, or bittering agents and provides a versatile foundation for a wide range of food-focused and extract applications.

Used by herbalists, flavor extract makers, culinary professionals, and DIY formulators who require maximum solvency and a neutral profile for their projects. This 200 proof organic alcohol is ideal when traceability and sustainable sourcing are important. 

Common Uses and Applications

This organic food grade ethanol is commonly selected for:

  • Making herbal tinctures and botanical extracts
  • Creating flavor extracts such as vanilla, citrus, and spice concentrates
  • Preparing organic vanilla extract, bitters, and other culinary essences
  • Ingredient preparation and formulation where purity is required
  • Laboratory, educational, and small-batch production use

Using a high-proof organic base allows you to control dilution and extraction performance while maintaining clean, consistent results.

Why Choose USDA Certified Organic Food Grade Ethanol

  • Zero additives: no denaturants or masking agents
  • USDA Certified Organic: quality and sustainability backed by third-party certification with an unblemished reputation
  • Neutral profile: supports pure flavor and extract clarity
  • Maximum solvency: efficiently dissolves organic plant compounds
  • Flexible use: dilute to desired proof for your process or recipe

Starting with a pure organic 200 proof as a food-safe base gives you the flexibility to tailor your flavor extracts, herbal tinctures, and culinary ingredients with precision and confidence. 

How This Differs From Denatured or Conventional Alcohol

Many high-proof alcohols on the market are denatured or contain additives that can interfere with flavor, aroma, and extract quality. This product contains only USDA Certified Organic ethanol, giving you a neutral and predictable foundation for food grade applications.

This product is sold as a high-purity USDA Certified Organic solvent for food and extract applications. It is not intended for recreational consumption.

This is what I need!

Scott,
Thank you so much for your professional approach, excellent product and attention to customers!

Some time ago I made my first purchase from the Culinary Solvent online store.

I spent quite a long time choosing and searching for options. Not for drinking alcohol (that's a completely different story, of course) but for technical, chemical, and medical purposes. For this I needed just pure substance, and I can’t stand the various additives that remain during the production process or are added intentionally as needed in the vast majority of products from others. And here I liked the open description of the process that was exactly what I needed. So I decided to try.

The package was received on schedule without any problems. And I'm really impressed with its content. Both the packaging and the completeness were of the highest level of care, and not only with expertise, but also, I would say, with love. It was really nice to receive such a parcel!

But the main thing, of course, is the product itself. As an experimental physicist by profession, I am used to being skeptical of advertising and promises and trusting more in the results of my own experience. So, the first thing I did was test for the presence of dissolved non-volatile impurities, assuming this alcohol would be used to clean optical surfaces. This is a very simple and quick "drying drop" test on a mirror. I was very pleased with the result: if there were any barely perceptible traces, then in any case, they were at least an order of magnitude less than in the common steam-distilled water sold in retail chains like Walmart! I haven't tried, however, to analyze the composition of the volatile impurities which is much more complicated, but so far I'm completely satisfied with everything.

If it weren't for the significant increase in cost due to shipping for small quantities, I would probably order this more often as the most convenient way to use.

Saw on Facebook

Saw on Facebook, was just what I was looking for to fuel an alcohol lamp without denatured or isopropyl alcohol. The order was shipped in an acceptable amount of time. Emails and tracking were good. I may not be putting it to its intended purpose, but for me it's working well.

Fantastic product, wealth of information!

I am very impressed with the level of care that was put into shipping and packing that went into this product. An added bonus: all packaging materials are recycleable AND I received a cool magnet. Each bottle is labeled with batch numbers and you can tell that the operation at Culinary Solvent is top notch. I also was blown away with the level of information on the website. Need recipes? They've got it. Need to dilute your ethanol? They've got handy charts and info on that too. Anything you need, Culinary Solvent has it on their website. Thanks and I will definitely be ordering again!

Aloha and Blessings. May all @Culinary Solvents and Loved Ones be enjoying the best possible health.

I am completely satisfied and beyond with the Organic 200Proof Ethanol from Culinary Solvents. (🥰Juicy Juice)

Scott (owner) even with his leadership position, is very accessible, humble, patient, and is a pleasure to converse with. He is an honest open book filled with valueable information and experience.

He is one to show sincerity over eagerness to sell. So this results in best business experience, because one as a client gains trust in the seller; whenever there is honesty sensed, and Scott took from his busy schedule his time to better explain to me the options, and eventually guided me for the best offer for my project’s needs…..AND very cool in having sent me as well in the direction of the techniques I would be best benefited from.

THANK YOU MR, TINCTURE😎🙏🏽YOU ROCK!!!!!

I recommend your company to anyone that is willing to listen😹🤙🏽, and I am enthusiastic in future purchases and great business experiences to come.

Blessings and Success to my newest Family members @Culinary Solvents and the North-Brew Krew 😎🙏🏽

EXPENSIVE SHIPPING

Product is Excellent!!!
Choice of Shipper FedEx, Poor Choice.
Although shipping is “free” this shipping cost two days of PTO due to Signature, which is a Good Thing. Issue is FedEx sending two emails with two separate Delivery Dates: 12/2/2024 & 12/4/2024. So two day of adjusting meetings and rescheduling appointments, was extremely expensive, in comparison to the cost of Ethanol…

Great product

I’m new to this, I’m also not the greatest person describing things but I do like when there is attention to details like how well things are been shipped, and you guys took your time on how to ship this securely, and with the warnings and all.

I like how the label was removable that way I was able to move the content to a glass bottle I had, since I had trouble pouring from the original bottle and had few spills, I’m not sure if it’s the “mouth” design tho. But at least removing the label completely saved me time to make one myself :)

Thank u! God bless your company.

How can you beat the best?

If you're making medicine, you seek out the highest quality plants you can find.

Why do less for the alcohol in the menstruum?

I've bought pure ethanol from other sources before, but the 200 proof organic ethanol from culinary solvent is definitely a cut above. Highly Recommend.

Certified Organic 200 Proof Food Grade Ethanol FAQs

USDA Organic products are made from certified organic ingredient standards and must follow strict tracking rules for traceability to the final customer. The extra steps and paperwork are part of why organic products usually cost more.

By law, 200 proof contains up to 0.3% water, while 190 proof has about 5% water in solution. Some recipes specifically call for 190 proof, or for further dilution to a certain proof where the math is easier starting with 100%.

Organic certification is managed by the USDA by administered by inspectors local to each state. Culinary Solvent is inspected and certified USDA Organic by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. Learn more about USDA Certified organic alcohol here.

No. 200 proof food grade ethanol does not expire or spoil, but proper storage is important. Keep the container tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from heat and flame.
