The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Cranberry Sauce captures classic cranberry relish: bright ruby tartness with a gently jammy body, a subtle pectin/gel texture cue and a touch of citrus peel. Great for lemonades/sodas, berry blends and bakery. 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).
