Dave’s Flaves creates high-impact flavour concentrates designed for clean, consistent results across food, beverage, and culinary applications. Crafted in our Canadian flavour lab and produced in a GMP facility, each formula is carefully built for balanced aroma, dependable performance, and precise dosing—available in both water-soluble and oil-soluble formats.

Our concentrates are engineered for efficient, low-volume use. Most applications perform best between 0.05% and 0.10% (w/w) — that’s 0.5 to 1.0 g per 100 g of finished product.

• Beverages & cocktails: 0.05%–0.08%
  
• Syrups & frozen desserts: 0.05%–0.10%
  
• Baking & high-heat applications: 0.08%–0.10%
  

Start at the low end, blend thoroughly, and adjust in small increments. Our flavours are highly concentrated — a little goes a long way.

All rates refer to weight-in-weight: e.g., 0.1% = 1 g per 100 g finished product.

Yes — layering is not only allowed, it’s encouraged. Our concentrates are designed to blend cleanly, giving you creative control without muddy flavours or off-notes.

Start small — just a drop or two of each — and adjust slowly to build your perfect profile. Because our flavours are highly concentrated, subtle additions make a big impact.

For best results, keep your total flavour load between 0.05% and 0.10% (weight-in-weight). Staying within this range ensures clarity, solubility, and the clean, well-finished taste our flavours are known for.

No — at normal usage levels, Dave’s Flaves concentrates contribute virtually zero calories, sugar, fat, or nutrients to your finished product.

Our flavours are carried in PG or MCT, both of which add negligible caloric impact at the low inclusion rates we recommend (typically 0.05%–0.10% w/w). At these levels, they do not meaningfully change the nutritional profile of beverages, baked goods, confections, or sauces.

Because our aromatic compounds are highly concentrated, you get full flavour expression without adding bulk, sweetness, or functional macronutrients — making our concentrates suitable for low‑sugar, keto, vegan, and other specialty‑diet formulations where flavour intensity is needed without added calories or mass

Keep your concentrates tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Both oil-soluble (MCT-based) and water-soluble formats are stable under normal ambient conditions and maintain their best quality for up to 18 months when properly stored.

Some water-soluble flavours may appear naturally hazy at room temperature due to the density and complexity of the aromatic compounds—this is normal and does not affect performance. A gentle shake before use ensures even dispersion.

For long-term storage or in warmer environments, refrigeration is optional but not required; always allow the bottle to return fully to room temperature before dosing to maintain consistency.

Dave’s Flaves are crafted in two formats—each designed to perform at their best in different recipe environments:

Water-Soluble Flaves

Built on a propylene glycol base, these flavours disperse smoothly in beverages, syrups, light sauces, frozen treats, and other water-phase systems.

Some flavours may appear naturally hazy or clouded, depending on the aromatic compounds inside. This is normal and does not affect performance or flavour impact.

Oil-Soluble Flaves

Formulated in MCT oil, these blends integrate beautifully into fat-rich applications such as chocolate coatings, buttercreams, ganaches, vinaigrettes, baked batters, and nutraceutical oils.

The fat phase helps carry volatile aromatics for richer aroma, smoother texture, and better flavour longevity.

Which should you choose?

• Choose Water-Soluble for beverages, frozen desserts, syrups, and anything primarily water-based.
  
• Choose Oil-Soluble for fat-based recipes, bakery applications, emulsions, and confections.
  

Each format is crafted to give you reliable, predictable performance in its intended medium

Absolutely. We want you to experience how our concentrates perform in your own formulations before committing to scale.
