The Flavor Apprentice creates water-soluble food flavorings for DIY mixing. Smooth is an additive-style flavor designed to reduce harsh edges and round out mixes rather than add a distinct taste. This highly concentrated flavor must be diluted before use. It is commonly used in tobacco and dessert recipes to soften sharp notes and improve overall mouthfeel. All TFA concentrates are PG-based and water-soluble. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
