Caramel Original | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

Caramel Original by The Flavor Apprentice is a rich caramel concentrate with toasted, maple-like and brown-sugar notes. The manufacturer describes it as richer than a candy-style caramel, making it a distinctive option for coffee, bakery and dessert recipes.

Flavour profile

The caramel character has a toasted edge and a maple-and-brown-sugar direction. Let it lead for a fuller caramel dessert, or use a smaller accent to add that character beneath coffee, vanilla or biscuit flavours.

Recipe ideas & pairings

• Caramel coffee: trial alongside coffee and milk in a beverage recipe.
• Vanilla caramel ice cream: combine with vanilla in an ice-cream base.
• Apple crumble dessert: pair with apple, cinnamon and biscuit notes.
• Pecan caramel cake: explore a nut-and-cake combination, keeping caramel prominent.

Shake the bottle before measuring: the manufacturer notes that the natural caramel can separate. Compare the flavour in the complete recipe before adding more, especially alongside other caramel or brown-sugar notes.

Using the concentrate

Dilute in a suitable food or beverage recipe. This is Caramel Original, a separate formulation from Caramel Candy and DX Caramel Original. The manufacturer identifies acetoin and acetyl propionyl.

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.
