Flavors
A flavorings, also known as flavors or flavorant, is an additivate to improve the taste of a food or beverage product.
Flavors can be found in all items around us. For instance, a strawberry has hundreds of compounds that together create what we would perceive as a strawberry flavor.
A Flavorist would then handpick which compounds they would like to combine to develop their version of a strawberry flavor. Flavor creation is between science and art. A Flavorist can use infinite compound combinations to find the strawberry flavor that suits your needs.
After the Flavorist develops the flavor it is the job of the Compounder to create it on a larger scale. A Compounder will combine all flavoring compounds together and use any number of processing complete the flavor.
Our flavors are created with FEMA (Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association of the United States) and GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) compounds and ingredients. FEMA is a well-established and revered agency in the food industry.
Our flavors are labeled with best by dates and not expiration dates for a reason. Within reasonable storage conditions, our shelf-stable flavors will not spoil.
If a flavor has an off-smell, decrease in aroma or flavor, evidence of mold in the product or on the lid, or any other deterioration of flavor character we suggest replacing the product.
Some citrus flavors will have an aging process and over time will taste more oxidized. We found that some people prefer the oxidized flavor and associate it with strong, ripe citrus. To prolong a citrus fresh flavor it can be stored in a refrigerator.
Some flavors will have some settlement and are suggested to shake well before use.
Colors can be dulled if stored in sunlight or artificial lighting areas. Take care to store flavors away from direct light and high temperatures.
No, our flavors do not have any sweetener added. Sweetener must be added in the next process of turning flavor into a finished product. By not adding any sweeteners to our products we are allowing you to determine product sweetness types and levels.
Some flavors do have Glycerine added to their base. Glycerine does contribute some sweetness but will not be enough for most finished beverages or food products consumption.
The flavors listed on our website are just the beginning of our collection. If there is a specific flavor you are looking for or if there is a flavor you like but need a different carrier/base. Please contact us with your specific needs.
