Dolce Flav Mango Extract - 2 Ounce Water-Soluble Multipurpose Flavoring Ideal for Baked Goods, Beverages, Coffee, Desserts & Ice Cream - Mango Essence Perfect for Weight Management

I used to bake all the time (and I do mean AAAALLLLL the time), but it never occurred to me that there would be raspberry extract, let alone that I'd buy it. I love raspberry, but when I put it in my baking I've always just bought raspberries to add. In the colder months, I tend to drink a lot of raspberry tea but was trying to find something a little more economical as I can easily go through a box in a week. When I saw this I read the description and decided to give it a try (the cost wasn't prohibitive so even if I wasn't crazy about it I figured I could always use it in any baking I may do). I like that there is no sugar added and it actually is a natural raspberry flavor -- it tastes like the real thing! Honestly, I wasn't expecting much....and I was so pleasantly surprised! It says to start with one or two drops because you can always add more flavor, but you can't take it out. I have 18 oz coffee mugs and I've found that 5 - 6 drops in hot water with a little monkfruit for sweetener and I have an incredible raspberry "tea"! I've tried it in my protein drink (unflavored powder providing 25 g of protein, adding a TBL of cacao powder and 6 - 8 drops of the raspberry flavoring in 16 - 24 oz of fluid and ice). I've yet to find a raspberry flavored protein drink and this makes a delicious chocolate raspberry drink. I haven't tried the protein drink with just the raspberry flavoring....but, I believe that's next cuz it would be amazingly refreshing in the summer. Can't say enough about this flavor! Using it at least five times a day since I've received it and haven't even used 1/10 of the bottle so it's really economical -- due to the concentration it should last quite a long time. Throw a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream (or frozen yoghurt) in a blender with 5 - 6 drops and you'll have a great raspberry dessert! The packaging is definitely first rate as the bottle comes in a box and is surrounded by the equivalent of packing foam to protect it. The dropper is included, but the bottle comes with a regular cap to ensure no leakage during shipping. I love that this is the product of a small business, and this business definitely takes pride in it's product AND it's packaging. I couldn't be more pleased and am looking forward to trying some of their other flavors including the caramel and coconut.

These extracts are great! I've used multiple flavors (including Cherry and Blackberry) to "doctor up" a glass of cheap store-brand Dr. Pepper knock-off soda. Add 10 - 13 drops to a full glass of cheap ($1 to $1.25 per 2 liter bottle) diet "Dr. Thunder" or similar and it tastes just as good as that magnificent standard, Diet Dr. Pepper Blackberry (or Cherry). One bottle will last you a LONG time.

Excellent product will buy again

Inedible, I tried using this in a ninja slushy recipe and it was disgusting. Not sure if it was “user error” or maybe extract was just too strong for our taste buds but I will definitely will not use it again.

I make the viral fruit pastries and this name brand will be the only fruit flavor I use . Just takes the natural fruit flavor to the next level !

My flavoring intentions for this product was to create my own mock "Hint" water without putting so much plastic into our environment. my purchase decision was made on good reviews and the fact that this had no added coloring or stevia. I added three drops of The Dolce Mango extract to the bottom of a tall glass before adding water. I decided it necessary to add one drop of my favorite zero calorie sweetener. I found this to be an acceptable "Hint" dupe as far as flavor but my esophagus felt weird and I was not wowed by any means. There was definitely a slight off aftertaste. I understand to make it water soluble and their wish to stretch profits by adding it to a carrier, they chose propylene glycol. The aroma of mango was very nice. The glass bottle and dropper was nice and packed well for shipping. Perhaps this product is more suited to people who vape and want to concoct their own solutions since the crackdown on the sale of flavored vapes. I would have just preferred a smaller bottle with the actual concentrate to dilute it myself. I ordered both a Mango flavoring and also a passion fruit, I received a box that said passion fruit and inside the box was a BlackBerry which I thought was kind of odd. Being a food item it was not a straightforward process to return. There wasn't an option to get the correct product, however I did eventually get approval for a refund from Amazon when I sent them a photo of receiving the wrong product. Due to not reacting well to the extract,I feel lucky to have received the wrong item and I won't be making a replacement order for the correct flavor with my refund.

The value is great. The smell is pretty strong--and kinda off. I wanted to give it 3 stars for that, but I've read descriptions of similar products and they seem to have the same issue. In fact, compared to several of those, this seems like it might be better. Surprisingly, the taste is not super strong. I bought it to put in my plain Greek yogurt with protein-powder to mask some of the protein powder taste. It does help, but I wish it was stronger in flavor so it would be a better value, not having to use as much. So I guess quality is just ok. I'm interested in trying it in my fiber-infused water--because that ain't so fun on its own. Haven't done so yet. I expect a bit of enhancement in taste, based on what I've tasted so far. Love that they include a dropper. And I have to say, it was VERY well packaged. I can't imagine it would break in the mail. Pics for size. Note the "Heart Healthy." I get a star for that, eh?

This is a great water solvablew flavoring. Not like candy green apple but it is a nice apple flavor.
