Why Natural Terpenes match your taste buds better
Naturally occurring terpenes in Flavor Essence provide real aromas/scents and the naturally matching taste “personality” to each flavor. As you already know, whenever something doesn’t smell quite right, it will also not taste good either. Both senses work together. And that is why we place so much emphasis upon capturing and protecting natural terpenes, their associated aroma and taste components and their impact upon the resulting natural specific “style” of each flavor. When these things are in balance, (which is our ultimate goal for you), both your palate and the memory impressions of your brain are being synchronized. And in contrast to artificial flavorings or even other “natural” flavors, these are more complex, more nuanced. And it is within those nuances that we seek to trigger positive memories and associations, making them more enjoyable.
How these essences work -with simplicity in mind
Completely natural and unsweetened, our essences offer limitless potential for enhancing beverages and foods or even in masking, correctly or improving other flavors. Not artificial concoctions, not unstable emulsions, not simple essential oils diluted, these are natural water-soluble solutions and potent just like the vanilla you grew up with. And yet our concentration levels are more user-friendly, and our dispenser caps reduce the flow of concentrate into measurable drops and “shakes” for easily-learned reliabilty.
As concentrates, you might smell the aromas from the bottle, yet to taste them correctly when you first start, you will have to actually dilute them into a tasteless beverage like water or stir them into something so simple and neutral as whipped cream. This way you can learn or “get to know” each flavor’s “personality”
Think of Flavor Essence as “un-syrups” or “tasty condiments”, with just natural concentrated clean smelling clean tasting flavor that you can dilute and stir into anything. And because there are no sweeteners, and no other additives to enhance their taste, remove sediment, make them look pretty or channge their color, our essences are automatically and extremely shelf stable. Similar to fine wine, our flavors do not expire, they get better over time. (Once companies start “adding things”, it is then that their vicious circle begins… and then they have to add even more “ingredients”).
Lots of Questions and Flavoring ABC’s
If these questions sound familiar, then Flavor Essence is a good answer / solution
Do you have a machine to make bubbly water, but just can’t enjoy your taste options? Want to flavor your coffee with some real flavors or more exotic ones? Do your protein powders and shakes taste strange no matter what? Why does stuff that’s “good for you” taste so bad or even worse taste ok but still have some other stuff added to it?
Adding Flavor to things that already have Sugar, Stevia or Sucralose
Or Eliminate Sweeteners but still have good taste
Because these essences have no sweeteners, you can easily add them to improve the taste of things that already do. And you won’t be compounding embedded sweetness, you’ll just make those things taste better. Want to eliminate or reduce your sugar intake, but everything still has some kind of sweetener in it? Or, if you have the chance, wouldn’t you rather just add your own favorite sweetener your own way? Do you want the flavor of tasty syrups but can’t reproduce them -(now you can make your own). Do you want to cut back on syrup but don’t know how?
Customizing Yogurt, Milk and Oats
Have you ever wanted to customize your yogurt or milk with a much greater range of taste? How about overnight oats– when you really do want something healthier but decent levels of taste is limited? Isn’t it a bit more exciting or enticing when you can eat oatmeal with a bit of taste and variety?
Improving Upon Fresh Fruit and Fruit Salads
When you buy great looking strawberries but they just lack any strawberry taste? Wouldn’t it be nice to create the natural tasting juices that you miss from local summertime fully ripened berries and add that in with those nice looking strawberries and other berries? And how many more fruit salads are you going to eat without a pint’s-worth of fruit juice of nectar for it to marinate in?
Secret Ingredients for Bar Drinks
And have you ever noticed that all the good cocktails have tons of sugary liquers added to them? What if you could “doctor up” any bar drink with many exotic options? On the Kahlua and Baileys side of the spectrum, can you imagine what a dash of Dark Chocolate, Pistachio, Creme Brulee or Banana Foster could do? What about adding concentrated Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Pineapple, Coconut or Mango to any Marguerita or juice-based blender drink?
Delicious Frostings, Glazes, Home-Made Ice Creams and Even Delicious Dressings
Can you imagine how good any frosting can taste like when you have 30 easy choices and easily 60 different blended pairs? When glaze recipes do not fall apart with only a teaspoon of concentrated essence, exotic results are easy and exciting. And in another world, how about the fact that just a tad of something simple like a fruit based essence will completely transform and liven up tonight’s simple vinagette, ranch, caesar or italian dressing?
It’s About Being Creative, Variety and Having More Simple Control
The ideas above should get your creativity going. Obviously you will have even more of your own ideas of what to try, and what can lead to new “discoveries”. As you experiment with these flavors, do what Goldilocks did with her porridge, play with and find what is “just right for you”.
And if you thought these flavors are just for making Soda Stream taste much better or only for jazzing up your morning coffee, you really ought to explore beyond that and find the free-child inside who can take a box of crayons and never worry about coloring outside the lines. The same kind of fun your yellow crayon mixed with the blue one gives you that new incredible green. Blending the flavors in many combinations will ultimately lead you to personalized tastiness and variety that most people never have. And in the end, no company will ever pre-flavor everything for you the way you like; but now you can –anytime you want, your own way. And that’s what we mean when we say “finally, you are in control”.
