Flavor West is a US manufacturer of water-soluble food flavors. Blood Orange Natural delivers authentic blood orange: lively zest up top, juicy ruby citrus with a gentle berry hint in the mid and a clean, soda-like base that excels in lemonades, sorbets and fruit blends.
Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. Flavor West flavors are water-soluble and PG-carried. Note: We bulk-source and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original manufacturer bottle).
