Flavor West is a US manufacturer of water-soluble food flavors. Candy Cane delivers a classic peppermint candy profile: crisp mint on top, gentle vanilla smoothing in the body and a clean, cool finish—great for chocolate-mint, winter candy, lattes and fresh dessert builds.
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).
