Flavor Profile
Flavorah Pastry Zest tastes like a danish from the bakery case, glazed, buttery, and gone before the coffee cools.
It is a sweet danish pastry with a sugar glaze and light cinnamon, with both the buttery crust and the sweet center, and a bright touch of citrus zest.
Intensity is moderate. Its base notes pair well with Flavorah Cream and Cookies, Biscotti, Brie Cheese, and Cream, and it finishes fruit tarts, hand pies, and cobblers beautifully. Start small and build.
Create Endless and Indelible Memories with Flavorah
All the flavors that we make at Flavorah are designed for mixing complex, layered recipes for products that may be consumed. Even though this Pastry Zest flavor will stand alone with memorable and captivating notes, we believe you will enjoy it most when you blend it with other flavors. It is our mission to create concentrates and extracts that become a powerful tool of flavor art in your culinary palette.
Use this Pastry Zest flavoring concentrate to develop your own artistic creations. As you blend it together with other complementary flavor layers, it will develop nuances and notes that either soften or strengthen according to your desire.
The layers of a completed flavoring profile can come from another Flavorah concentrate, such as Cream and Cookies or Biscotti, or from the medium you choose to mix it with. Try mixing Flavorah in cakes and cookies, sweet frosting, coffee creamers, or a dessert cocktail.
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 Pastry Zest 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.

Mood Through Combination
With coffee, Pastry Zest feels joyful and comforting, a bakery morning. As a cheese danish it turns indulgent, and with fruit it becomes a lively brunch.
Recipe Ideas
Try a cheese danish with Brie Cheese and Cream, a fruit danish with Strawberry Filling, or a pastry latte with Biscotti. Start each with a small amount and adjust in test batches.
Mixing Notes
Pastry Zest brings crust, glaze, and zest; add fruit or cheese for a finished danish.
Building a Recipe
Start with a small amount, taste, and build in small steps, testing in your own batch. As the lead pastry it sits toward the middle of each range; as a pastry crust note under fruit, lower. Set the ratios first, then adjust the total.
