If we are not getting the results with your formula, we can make
suggestions on how to improve the flavor system to better
achieve the desired results.
How long does it take to get samples?
Generally it takes about 3 days to get samples to you. We
have an extensive library of well performing products that can
be sent quickly for evaluations. If your needs require a

perform a new formulation.

If I give you the brand and concept, can you supply the
final finished product?
We can take your beverage concept and
brand and develop a unique tasting product your customers will
love. We work closely with dairies and bottlers to get you from
concept to ready to sell product.
I need some market research to help me
sell a juice concept, can you help?
Absolutely. We are constantly scanning the market for new
concepts and advances in raw materials. Flavors From Florida
often will provide demographic, consumer or other research to
customers to help them sell or promote a finished product.

For development samples, we generally ship a 16oz of base
flavors. We provide specification sheets and other
