The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Double Chocolate (clear) is a light/clear chocolate flavour delivering a tidy cocoa profile: chocolate syrup and cocoa powder with a gentle brownie/cake base—ideal for desserts, ice cream, cakes, pralines and dessert tobaccos. 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).
