Pear Flavor-FW

I have nothing but nice things to say about Flavor West and their products! The Pear Flavoring is excellent and very crisp! I mainly use it in my Juicy Fruit recipe and even in all the Jackfruit, Pineapple and Banana? You can still taste the Pear notes from Flavor West dancing about your mouth...and that's why I have selected FW as my source for my Pear Flavoring...

I know from the smell of a concentrate if its gonna be good. My smell tells me to use this with fa pear at a 3 to 1 ratio.. ex) 3% fa pear, 1% fw pear

Flavor West makes a pretty good pear flavor, and I use it all the time. I have been using it for about 3 years now, and I go through the 4oz bottles fairly quickly. One word of caution though, this pear has a sight bite to it. My secret to getting rid of this bite is to add a small amount of INW Pear to it, this will soften the flavor, and take the bite out, and also leave it tasting a bit more sweet & juicy. I've tried them both alone & with many combinations, and I've discovered they taste much better together than alone. The FW Pear is more like a green pear, and the INW is more like a juicy golden pear flavor. But the INW Pear can get cloying really fast, so best just to use a little of it sparingly to sweeten/ripen the FW Pear. For example, depending on whom I'm making this for (and how strong they like it), I might use 10-18% FW Pear with 1-2% INW Pear in a 50/50 solution, or 75PG/25VG solution. And I always get so many compliments about how it smells and tastes like a real fresh juicy pear! BTW, I also compared this to TPA/TFA, and there is no comparison, the TFA smells a bit floral, and it's hard to soften out that note. I've tried others too, since I am a pear fan, but the best I've found so far has been the combination of FW Pear & INW Pear used together. One more little tip, if you happen to have any FA Forrest Fruit, then adding a few drops of this also seems to "ripen" this flavor quite nicely!
