Black Currant | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a US-based manufacturer of professional food flavorings used in DIY mixing and culinary applications. Black Currant provides a bold, sharp berry profile known for its deep fruit character and natural tartness, making it suitable for fruit blends, beverages and layered recipes where strong berry presence is needed. This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution only. It is PG-based, water-soluble and designed for controlled use in recipes rather than standalone application. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
