The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Caramel Original delivers a classic caramel profile: sweet buttery caramel, mild vanilla and a touch of burnt sugar. Works well in desserts, coffee, chocolates and as a base in RY4/tobacco blends. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol.
