FLAVOR LABORATORIES, INC.
PALMETTO, FLORIDA

Flavor Laboratories, Inc. is a premier company specializing in the creation of diverse flavors for various applications including candy, coffee beans, vapor, medicinals, oils, waxes, moonshine, and more. Founded by Deborah Dolen, Flavor Laboratories stands out for its commitment to using the freshest flavor compounds, achieving this through freezing incoming materials to preserve quality, a practice typically expensive and uncommon among other manufacturers. The company places significant emphasis on incorporating floral notes into their flavor profiles, which are crucial to popular flavors. For example, geranium is used in raspberry, rose enhances blueberry, and orange blossom (neroli oil) defines a good cola flavor. Emphasizing the importance of botany in flavor creation, Flavor Laboratories not only sources but also grows its own botanicals like geraniums, neroli flowers, tangerines, kefir limes, and blood oranges to ensure quality and authenticity. Despite offering premium ingredients which others might shy away from due to cost, Flavor Laboratories remains competitive in pricing while delivering high-quality finished products. The company's expertise extends into niche areas such as oil-based flavors essential for manufacturing processes like lip balm production and chocolate making where water-based extracts would be unsuitable. Founded on August 1, 2013, and primarily located at 7322 Manatee Avenue W in Bradenton, FL, Flavor Laboratories maintains a strong international presence by exporting over 60% of its products to countries including France, Dubai, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and South Korea. Under President Deborah Dolen's guidance, the company not only focuses on innovative flavor solutions but also promotes continuous education among its senior flavorists. Flavor Laboratories remains committed to excellence in flavor creation by leveraging a combination of advanced techniques, botany expertise, and superior ingredients, underscoring its position as a leader in the global flavor industry.
