Shoppers today check product labels and ingredient lists. We offer Certified Organic extracts and concentrates for basil, cardamom, cocoa, and more.
Flavor Masking
Ingredients like caffeine and non-sugar sweeteners have functional benefits but can leave metallic, medicinal, and chalky off-notes or an unpleasant aftertaste. Masking systems from Virginia Dare selectively block bitter and astringent tastes while balancing saltiness and acidity.

Fish oil is one of the most popular supplements in the U.S., with one of the worst aftertastes. Our fish oil masking capabilities are second to none.
