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

Black Currant by The Flavor Apprentice is a concentrated food flavouring with a grape-like character and a dry, dark fruit edge. Use it in berry drinks and desserts, or pair it with raspberry, apple, citrus and cream.

Flavour profile

TFA describes a grape-like direction with a dry, dark and mature edge. It offers a different fruit balance from a simple sweet berry profile. Keep it central in a dark-fruit blend, or use it as a measured accent beside raspberry or apple. A separate cream or vanilla flavour can take it towards dessert.

Recipe ideas & pairings

• Dark-berry drink: combine with raspberry in a suitable drink base.
• Apple currant sauce: pair with apple in a prepared dessert sauce.
• Currant vanilla yoghurt: test with vanilla in a yoghurt base.
• Citrus berry dessert: add a separate lemon accent in a chilled dessert recipe.

Test the currant layer before adjusting sweetness. Judge the fully diluted recipe, since a dry flavour impression can change with the base and serving temperature.

Using the concentrate

Dilute into the food or drink base specified by your recipe. This concentrate contains ethyl alcohol; keep it away from heat, sparks and open flames and follow the supplied label’s handling instructions.

Make a small test batch, measure each addition and mix thoroughly before assessing the result. Record the amount and final batch size so you can reproduce your recipe. Measuring tools help keep small adjustments consistent. For DIY e-liquid, follow a recipe and product-specific suitability guidance; food-use guidance does not establish suitability for inhalation.
