I love so many of them I know there are even newer blends coming out all the time @MysticRose uses them frequently.
As do I but she has some of the newest flavors.
For my favorite Picks of theirs Iâd say
Strawberry
Blueberry
Blueberry Acai Pomegranate
Strawberry pastry w/ frosting
Cinnamon Custard
Cookies & Cream
Raspberry
Strawberry Milkshake
Peanut Butter cup
Thereâs a whole new learning curve when using these guys as you may use more than a typical pg flavor and the steep time increases but when they come around they are delicious. I just finished a batch that was 2 months old tasted better today than it did a month ago they just keep getting better and better.
I like Birthday cake , vanilla custard , cake batter , marshmallow , vanilla ice cream but have yet to find a true % where I am in love with these.
RF that have gotten 4 or 5 stars from me so far are bread pudding, cookies and cream, coconut, apple pie, banana bread, blackberry, blood orange, butterscotch pudding, pistachio, cinnamon donut, shamrock shake.
I still have quite a few on my wish list. But these are in my regular rotation:
Coconut Cream Pie
Bread Pudding
Cinnamon Custard
Condensed Sweetened MilkâSeriously addicted, this is phenomenal in most bakeries, creams, and custards.
Peanut Butter Cookie
Butterscotch Pudding
Cream Soda
Lemon Cake
Havenât tried them yet with a steep, but smelled amazing. Waiting for a full month steep, but looks promising:
Butter Toffee
Dreamsicle-itâs an orange pineapple vanilla cream.
Personally, Iâd recommend skipping straight to his new âflavor extractsâ listingsâŚas theyâre supposed to be more on par with the âusual crowdâ of preferred companies (percentage-wise).
Though theyâre so new that I havenât had a chance to try them yet. So take it for whatever itâs worth.
On top of the others mentioned I will add the following:
French Toast
Cinnamon Toast
Sugar Cookie
I love the Bread Pudding , Shamrock Shake , Cinnamon Custard , Vanilla Custard , Blueberry Muffin , Cookies and Cream and Apple Pie but honestly I have over 30 of the Real Flavors and very, very, few are what I would consider problem flavors and the majority of those were beta samples. @Amy2 nailed it as the percentages can be a little more than others , Some feel that only flavors that use less than 5-6% are to be considered âpremiumâ flavors , I do not.
I am more concerned about the taste quality of the flavors than the percentages that I have to use.Simply put if it takes 10-15% of flavoring to be great , I can live with that , others canât.
I agree with this completely! I couldnât have said it better myself! I still have so many I want to try, Have you tried the Cherry Pie or Rocky Road Ice Cream. Those are like 2 of my hubbyâs favorite things.
I will have to mix and retry the Vanilla Custard again. When I tried it, I wasnât very impressed. It wasnât bad, just not a stand out. Iâm going to revisit it. The possibility exists that my palate was too overwhelmed with all the testing to get the more delicate flavors of vanilla custard.
I think we are closer on our individual tastes than what it appears.As you know most RF are really good as stand alone flavors that donât need much to accent the taste , most are pretty well rounded with all the minor notes in the background.
I found the Vanilla Custard to be a good flavor but nothing impressive until I started using it to accent other mixes.It has a wonderful buttery , milky , sweet , vanilla cream that plays well with other mixes around 2-4%.
It will develop into a thicker Custard type flavor with a longer steep time but I donât think I will ever find any Custard I like more than Caps V1 and this is no different.
I also use the RF Sugar Cookie more to help round out a mix more than use it for the foundation ,although it is a very good stand alone flavor.
I have not but I have read some wonderful reviews and both will be ordered this weekend.
I didnt realize that Northwest flavors and real flavors were the same brand. I have the Blueberry Acai Pom. Have you mixed the blueberry as a single flavor ?
The only one Iâve tried so far is rocky road ice cream and itâs amazing. If you like the flavors in the combo (chocolate ice cream, almond, marshmallow) I canât recommend it enough. I mixed at 7% and it needs at least a two week steep. Delicious.
I donât believe I ever tried their BB as a SA if I were to venture into doing so Iâd say to start around 10-12% their BB is a wonderful flavor but is a lil weak. Try putting 2% sour with this and give it around 3-4 weeks I bet itâd be great.
Good idea⌠then I can put the remainder of that 30ml bottle in the fridge, because itâs gonna last a looong time at this rate! Actually, I think I could use the Sourdough Doughnut mix to accent the next batchâŚ
I also ordered Baklava and Molasses extracts. Better make testers with these (which I should have done with the Baked Bread).
@Walt_RealFlavors: hey bud, got a recommendation for percentage range for the Baklava? My wife really wants to try that one.
