All the flavors that we make at Flavorah are designed to mix complex and layered recipes for products that may be consumed.

It is our mission to create concentrates and extracts that become a powerful tool of flavor art in your culinary palette.

The layers of a completed flavoring profile can come from another Flavorah concentrate, or from the medium you choose to mix it with. Try mixing Flavorah in baked goods, sweet frosting, syrups, sugar free smoothie, or a cocktail beverage.
Flavorah makes flavor art into an expression of individual perception and beauty. Our flavoring is designed to empower you to communicate this balance of potent perfection with the sense of taste and smell. Our Apricot flavoring can harness the passing moments of enjoyment that will be experienced by everyone who samples your creation.
Flavorah is a product meant for the artist who wants to be tasted not heard, and smelled but not seen.
We know success when we see the satisfaction on the faces of our customers who create their own recipes. We delight in seeing our customers' recipes making the world a more bountiful experience for everyone to enjoy.
Flavor Profile
Flavorah Apricot delivers an authentic stone fruit experience with sweet, sun-ripened character and delicate floral undertones. The aroma presents juicy apricot flesh with hints of honey and subtle peachy warmth.
Opening notes reveal bright, sweet apricot with natural fruit sugars and gentle tartness. The body develops into lush stone fruit depth with velvety mouthfeel and sophisticated complexity. The finish is clean and fruity, leaving pleasant apricot sweetness that evokes summer orchards.
This is a medium-intensity flavor with excellent versatility across applications. The natural, realistic character makes it ideal for both fresh fruit profiles and elegant dessert applications where authentic apricot is essential.
