I have just received my first package of flavors from http://www.flavourart.it/expresseng/enter.html (in Italy). I have to say that they are pretty darn good. And they have a lot of variety not available from Lorann's.

For example, the Beer flavor really tastes like beer. Not like Budweiser or anything I can put my finger on since I am not a big beer drinker (got it for my BF), but kind of what I would describe as a strong red beer. Don't know why I say red, since I've never had a red beer, but that is what comes to mind.

Also, on a whim I got the Magic Mask, which is under the sweet flavors as AAA Magic Mask. It is supposed to suppress the acid flavor receptors in your tongue for a few seconds. My peach has a little bite to it that was annoying me, so I tried ten drops of MM in 1.5 ml of peach -- it absolutely fixed the bite of the flavor and opened up the peach flavor much better. (Edited to add that it may not take as much as I added, I just tried it with about 5 drops and it didn't quite do it, so the amount needed is somewhere between 5-10 drops per 1.5ml on really sharp acid tastes.)

I also got Whiskey and Jasmine. Haven't tried them yet, but I am very excited about this vendor.

JMHO

Please let us know what you think of the quality. If you got them, I'm very curious about the cola and coffee flavors. If they are excellent, those two bottles alone would be worth the shipping costs for me.

A friend from another forum let us have a bottle of their cinnamon.

I have to say it's brilliant, but should be used sparingly (much stronger than any Loranns we've used.

Flavourart.com doesn't work. But flavourart.it does. Thanks for the review!

Better yet, just to straight to the shop: http://www.flavourart.it/expresseng/enter.html - was kind of an annoying process to get there.

Okay - don't laugh - but about a week ago I ordered their bacon flavor. Just couldn't resist. I'm seriously trying not to get my hopes up. It's water-soluble, so that's a good thing. Unlike the pizza flavoring which I also ordered that is not.

Ay Up everyone,

I have their Beer and it is a lovely flavour - like a sweet but good real ale (Old Speckled Hen come Bishop's finger). The Irish Cream is strong but the wine flavours get lost on me so far!!

Thank you, I edited my first post with those links. You are right, it is several too many clicks from the first page to the store.

Valerie, have you tried any other flavors from FlavourArt? (Did you get any more, other than the ones you mentioned in the first post?)

Do you think they're worth the "added costs" - shipping from Italy, and the 20% VAT?

You know, I was just going to post up a question here about taming the bite I'm getting from pomegranate. The bite was an expected result but I'm wondering if the AAA Magic Mask will yield the same results for pomegranate as it did for peach. I'm also wondering if the bite you are referring to in peach is the same tart bite you'd expect to get from a pomegranate...

They also provide a lengthy post concerning diacetyl and which flavors contain the compound. Here's the list for quick reference.
