The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Dulce de Leche delivers classic cooked milk caramel: creamy body, rounded sweetness and a soft vanilla/toffee accent—ideal for caramel/dessert builds, coffees, chocolates and as a smooth caramel bridge in fruit and tobacco mixes. 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).
