Food-grade honey flavor is a food additive that simulates the unique floral aroma, sweet taste, and rich, smooth undertones of natural honey.
Flavor Characteristics: It possesses a typical and intense honey-sweet aroma. Its characteristics lie in its rich layers of aroma: the top notes carry a subtle pollen scent, the middle notes present a full, syrupy sweetness, and the base notes are accompanied by a warm, waxy feel or a slight fermented honey aroma.
