555 | Flavor West (20/50/100ml)

Flavor West is a US-based manufacturer of water-soluble food flavorings used in DIY mixing and culinary applications. 555 delivers a woody, gently sweet flavor inspired by Virginia fire-cured tobacco and creamy chocolate; the flavoring contains no tobacco.

This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution. It can be used in DIY flavor mixing and in very small amounts for desserts and beverages. Flavor West concentrates are water-soluble and PG-based. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
