Black Current is a berry native to Northern Europe and Asia with a more berry and grape like flavor. An extravagant berry tart reminiscent of passionfruit or raspberry, sweet like grapes with a slight acidic aroma and hints of cherry. Sweet in nature, black currants are a unique and unexpected flavor to be added to both sweet and savory dishes. Because of its versatility, our Northwestern Extract Black Currant Flavoring is a favorite to be added to savory marinades, sauces, syrups and salads as well as to sweet, seltzer beverages and hard sodas. This flavor also does well in a variety of dessert inspired, crowd pleasing dishes. Try this flavoring mixed with our chocolate profiles as well as our citrus lemons and oranges for a summer inspired combination.
