This extract has a wonderful fresh strawberry flavor. However, it is very potent. You need to use an eye dropper to measure, unlike some other less strong flavorings. If you get a flavor that is too bitter or too much like alcohol, etc, you used too much. I use this to flavor iced tea. For one gallon of fairly strong tea, I use only 1.3 ml of flavoring, which is about 1/4 teaspoon. DO NOT use the normal measures in a recipe to substitute this flavoring - it will be too strong.
If you do not believe me about the strength, let me ask you - have you ever tasted vanilla extract straight out of the bottle? Even if you love vanilla in cookies, cakes or tea, etc, you will likely think it tastes horrid and bitter straight out of the bottle! So if you think yours tastes bad, try using less.
Note - different Olive Nation extracts are different strengths, so experiment with a little until you know how much you need for a particular recipe. For one gallon of tea, I can use one teaspoon of mango extract, 1/4 tsp of strawberry, 1/16 tsp of watermelon, and less than 1/16 tsp of apricot (I just got eye droppers and need to experiment with the last one - it is really strong!). Hope that helps you. :)

A fair and honest (not angry) mixed review
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021
UPDATE: I changed my review from 1 to 4 stars, given the following:after adding a teaspoon per gallon into my Vintner's Best blueberry wine that needed a little something, I was initially worried. The cotton candy smell was intense and I really didn't think the blueberry flavor would ever show up. Well, after a few weeks I have discovered that this mates perfectly with this cheap wine kit:5 gallon batch2 cups sugar dissolved in 1 cup finished wine5 teaspoons blueberry extractset it in fridge.NOW, here is what you must do. Aerate it before you drink it. toss it in a blender then refill your wine bottle. Viola! Incredible!still not an A+ product, but a solid 4/5 I think after further examination.So I've seen a lot of very,very, negative reviews, almost downright hostile.this review is going to be negative but it there's just no reason to get so angry at getting a product and not having it meet your expectations.I ordered mango grapefruit and blueberry. TTB. These are two flavor alcoholic drinks I'm making from hard seltzers and a blueberry wine because I did not like the way the vintner's best blueberry wine turned out.First the mango is actually pretty decent not great but the closest to actually smelling like what they claim and it tastes pretty good. For the money if you plan on doing a lot of small mango additions as a secondary flavor to another beverage, I think it's worth the money.The smell of the grapefruit although I've not used it yet, smells more like citrus than actual grapefruit.I'll be putting that in my next batch of hard Seltzer to see how that turns out so I can't call it one way or the other but it does smell kind of sort of like grapefruit.As for the blueberry, this stuff was so pungent it smelled like cotton candy through the box that I came through in Amazon. When I opened it it actually has a smell more like cleaning solvents than actual blueberry. This does not in any way smell like blueberry, and my nose is highly tuned for this sort of stuff so I can attest that it factually does not smell anything like blueberry. The taste isn't much like blueberry either but more like a fake candy blueberry-esque flavor.I'm certainly disappointed as maybe I should have done some research but I trusted YouTube guy that I like and he's seem to think that the Cherry was pretty good. We'll have to see how it melds with the wine after it sits for a week I was hoping for a little more blueberry presentation.I hope this is helpful, I think all of nation is trying to put out something decent for a cheap price and I can't really fault them on that.I assume if you want something more authentic you're going to be paying three to four times as much.
