Vanilla Custard | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100/250/500ml)

The Flavor Apprentice develops water-soluble food flavorings for DIY mixing and culinary applications. Vanilla Custard offers a full-bodied custard profile with deep vanilla notes and a creamy, eggy richness typical of classic custards. This highly concentrated flavor must be diluted before use. It is commonly used as a base in dessert recipes to add thickness and depth, and can also be applied carefully in food applications. All TFA concentrates are PG-based and water-soluble. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
