Description
Bordeaux Flavoring is a concentrated liquid flavoring that delivers a rich, dark berry taste with deep red wine-style fruit notes, balanced sweetness, and subtle tartness. Its bold, slightly jammy character creates a refined grape-berry profile that works well when you want a deeper fruit flavor in beverages, desserts, confections, and specialty recipes.
Unlike a simple grape or berry flavor, Bordeaux Flavoring combines deep fruit character with a smooth sweet-tart balance and jammy finish. This makes it useful for cocktails, mocktails, sodas, specialty drinks, cakes, pastries, frostings, chocolates, candies, truffles, caramels, sauces, glazes, and other suitable applications. The current product is available as an Oil Based (Oil Soluble) flavoring in 1 oz and 2 oz sizes.

How to Use Bordeaux Flavoring
Bordeaux Flavoring has a bold berry profile, so it is best to build the flavor gradually and adjust it according to the other ingredients in your recipe.
- Start with a small amount: Add gradually until the desired Bordeaux flavor intensity is reached.
- Mix thoroughly: Make sure the flavoring is evenly distributed throughout the recipe or formulation.
- Taste with the complete recipe: Sweeteners, acids, dairy ingredients, chocolate, and other fruits can change how the dark berry profile develops.
- Balance the richness: Bright flavors such as lemon or citrus can add contrast, while vanilla and cream-style flavors can soften the profile.
- Test before scaling: Try a small batch when developing a new recipe so you can fine-tune the flavor before making a larger quantity.
- Check the base: The current listing offers an Oil Based (Oil Soluble) option, so make sure the base is appropriate for your intended application.
