The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Almond delivers true almond/marzipan: nutty sweetness, a touch of bitter-almond/amaretto and a soft bakery-ready body that ties together chocolate, caramel and fruits. 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).
