The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Boysenberry Deluxe serves a lush wild-berry profile: blackberry meets raspberry with a hint of grape depth, lively tart top and a round jam/compote base—great as a main berry or to add complexity to other fruits. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We buy in bulk and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original packaging).
