The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Black Cherry delivers a rich cherry note: dark fruit with bright tart edges, juicy mid and a gentle almond/pit nuance for realism—great in sodas, candies and desserts. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original packaging).

- Dessert builds: pair with vanilla ice-cream, chocolate, fudge/caramel and Graham Cracker for pie.
- Berry depth: raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant; a squeeze of lemon for sparkle.
