Our Story
Flavor Producers was founded in 1981 as a family business in Valencia, California. We pioneered the development of natural and organic flavors by sourcing raw materials from nature. Plant-based flavor and extract creation is our specialty, with unique technologies that deliver transparently delicious taste to food and beverages.
Driven by Consumer Demand
In the 1980’s, the food and beverage market in California was seeking more natural flavor options. Our strategy with product development was founded on transparent flavor technologies by sourcing plant-based raw materials and extraction processes, that would provide easier access to authentic natural and organic taste profiles.
