Coreen's (ladycrooks) favorite Strawberry and Vanilla

I have from the beginning loved
(INAWERA) Shisha :strawberry:Strawberry
And (INAWERA) Shisha Vanilla they’re just the best for me anyway! Used in almost all my recipes where they’re called for.
What’s yours?

I too like INW Shisha Strawberry, also CAP Sweet Strawberry RF works very well for me. I much prefer a Vanilla Custard to a straight Vanilla mix but the INW Shisha Vanilla is ok in small amounts to bump up a Vanilla Custard based recipe.

I use Yumberry (SC) (RF) when I am looking for a Strawberry profile in my mix. I am not Strawberry blind, I just haven’t found a Strawberry flavor concentrate that ticks all the boxes like Yumberry.
Vanilla for me hands down would be Holy Vanilla (DIYFS). Always my first, but not the only choice.

Wow, tough one.

Strawberries

  • Strawberry Jam (Flavor Labs) – My fav just for jam.
  • Strawberry Jam (One On One) – Best Jam with built in butter.
  • Shisha Strawberry (INW) – All around winner, multiple uses, very unmistakable.
  • Strawberry Sweet (CAP) – Works well in candied and with TPA Strawberry Ripe.
  • Strawberry Ripe (TPA) – Yeah it’s weak, overused, but still always on my top shelf.

Vanillas:

  • Shisha Vanilla (INW) – Use it very often, all around.
  • Madagascar (FA) – My current most used go to.
  • Tahitian Vanilla Cream (WF) – Wow, wow, wow, starting to really get into this one.
  • Vanilla Ice Cream (LB) – Duh, VIC !!!
  • Vanilla Swirl (TPA) – Second only to FA’s in my usage.

Honorable Mention:

  • Milk and Honey (FLV) – Just putting this up here for @Rocky02852

@Mark_Turner that is a GREAT flavor, and I’d never thought of using it in a SB fashion. I’m glad you posted this.

Strawberry Green (FA) is IMO the closest I’ve come in my “quest” to date. It does very well at 0.5-1% when layered with other strawbs. Most used would be Shisha Strawberry (Inawera), Red Touch (FA) and Glazed Strawberry (VTA). MF Strawberry is good also, but cost prohibitive for me.
