The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream delivers a true ice-cream profile: real vanilla bean over a rich, creamy dairy base with rounded sweetness—ideal as a dessert base, for milkshakes, coffee/chocolate builds and fruit blends. 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).
