The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
French Vanilla Deluxe delivers deep, creamy vanilla with a custard/ice-cream vibe: soft vanilla bean, plush dairy body and a rounded sweet finish. Ideal as a dessert/cream base, to bind fruits/berries, and to enrich bakery, coffee and RY4 builds. 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 bottles (not the original packaging).
