Blood Orange Natural | Flavor West (20/50/100ml)

Flavor West is a US-based manufacturer of water-soluble food flavorings used in both DIY mixing and culinary applications. Blood Orange Natural delivers a vivid citrus profile with the characteristic sweetness and subtle bitterness of ripe blood oranges. The flavor feels fresh and authentic, with a natural orange peel nuance that adds realism.

This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution. It is commonly used in DIY flavor mixing for citrus-forward blends, but can also be applied in very small amounts for flavoring desserts, baked goods and beverages such as sodas or syrups. Flavor West concentrates are water-soluble and PG-based. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
