I present to you a product of a young French company. They sell a relatively wide range of products that I have been testing for a while, but you can also find their own brand on their site. From this I have brought you a simple and natural fruity flavour, which is ripe strawberries from their garden, condensed in a bottle. I'm going to test a ready-made liqueur, however, as you can see from the listing, it's available in all formats, who likes it.
Upon opening the bottle, I am immediately struck by the distinctive smell of ripe strawberries, which frankly, couldn't be better. The scent is not artificial or overly sweet, but rather a natural, slightly sour strawberry aroma. It's powerful but not intrusive, which is a positive first impression.
On the inhale, a fresh and juicy strawberry flavour is present in the mouth. The taste is very authentic, like tasting real strawberries. The profile is well balanced, not overpowering, but still offering enough sweetness to be satisfying. There is also a hint of acidity, a bit sour, which adds to the freshness and reminds me of freshly picked strawberries. The flavour is not intrusive, and there are no artificial by-flavours. On the exhale, the strawberry flavour remains dominant, but a slight creamy note also emerges, making the flavour profile smooth and rounded. The creamy note is not too strong, but rather a slight undertone that perfectly complements the strawberry flavour.
Conclusion: a pure and natural strawberry flavour, which is perfect for those who like natural and simple flavours, both in terms of price and quality. The price of the flavour concentrate ranges between 4 and 5 euros, which I think is a very friendly price, not to mention the blending ratio of 5% given by the manufacturer. It can also be used in spray tanks, as its simplicity and purity will make it less polluting. The link is in the usual bottom section where you can find it in all available formats.
