The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
DX Peanut Butter delivers an authentic peanut butter profile: roasted nuts, creamy spread and a gentle sweet/savory note that shines in chocolates, desserts and PB&J builds. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. The DX line is formulated without added diketones (DA/AP). Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original packaging).
