Flavour FAQs: Everything Clarified
What makes Dave’s Flaves unique?
Our 20 % ultra-concentrates capture pure, sun-ripened fruit intensity in every drop.
No steeping, no pulp, no artificial aftertaste—just professional-grade flavour, lab-tested for consistency.
Proudly Canadian-sourced and available in both water- and oil-soluble formats, we empower home cooks, bartenders, bakers, and food producers alike.
How do I determine the right dosage?
Recommended Usage Ranges (w/w)
StrengthRecommended Use Range (w/w)20 % Concentrate0.2 % – 0.8 %10 % (2-Fold)0.4 % – 1.6 %5 % (Premium)0.8 % – 3.2 %
All percentages refer to weight‐in‐weight (w/w). For example, a 0.5 % usage means 0.5 g flavouring per 100 g of your final formulation.
Can I layer multiple flavours?
Absolutely!
Our ultra-concentrates are designed for seamless layering—mix and match to create custom profiles without muddying flavours.
Start light (one drop per flavour) and build to taste.
Will these concentrates add calories or nutrients?
No. Dave’s Flaves deliver bold fruit character with zero calories, sugars, fats, or fillers—ideal for clean-label products and special-diet recipes.
How should I store my Flaves?
Keep bottles tightly sealed in a cool, dark place. Both formats maintain peak freshness for up to 18 months. Shake gently before use if stored upright for extended periods.
What’s the difference between Water-Soluble and Oil-Soluble Flaves?
Our two 20 % ultra-concentrates are engineered for different recipe mediums:
Water-Soluble Flaves dissolve instantly in any water-based system—sparkling or still beverages, mocktails, cocktails, light sauces and soups. They use a propylene glycol base for crystal-clear colour, no haze or separation, and zero shaking required.
Oil-Soluble Flaves blend seamlessly into fats and oils—vinaigrettes, compound butters, ganaches, baked batters, and nutraceutical oils. The MCT-oil base carries flavour molecules deep into lipid systems for richer aroma, smoother texture, and stable emulsions.
Choose Water-Soluble for pure, clear drinks; choose Oil-Soluble for dressings, baked goods, and any application where fats are your canvas.
