The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Cheesecake Graham Crust delivers a full cheesecake build: silky cream-cheese body with soft vanilla and a hint of lemon atop a buttery graham crust. Ideal as a dessert base, for pies/cheesecakes, fruit toppings and as a bridge between crumb, cream and caramel layers. 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).
