FAQ
Is it more caramel or toffee?
Buttery toffee with brown sugar and a gentle vanilla/nut edge—softer than hard caramel.
How do I add a darker “burnt sugar” note?
Use 0.1–0.3% Acetyl Pyrazine or a touch of cocoa/RY4.
Good in coffee?
Yes—0.5–1.5% creates a smooth “toffee latte.”
Too sweet in fruit mixes?
Lower the %, add a little acid or pair with tart berries for balance.
PG-carried and must be diluted?
