The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Ripe Strawberry delivers a natural, ripe strawberry: juicy core, subtle seed/leaf nuances and a rounded sweetness—ideal as a berry base, in lemonades/sodas and creamy 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 bottles (not the original packaging).
