Hi Paul,
I am traing to sell my own recipe, but I have some questions:
The best package without refrigeration, conservatives, the scale up formula and other things. That is the reason that I need a consultan and a co-packer at Houston or near it.
Can You help me please how can I find it.
Web pages, proper words, or other resorces.
Thank You
I have more time via email.... I'm either at work or driving. I can easily type while running reports at work. Is there any way we can talk via email instead? vvaultz@gmail.com
The products are simple syrup infused with extracts and natural flavors(mint & vanilla bean) contained in glassed bottles. The syrup that is infused with almond extract seem to have an infinite shelf-life while the the other two that is steeped with fresh mint leaves and vanilla bean respectively go rancid after a few days at room temperature inside my pantry, however shelf-life is extended when stored inside the refrigerator. Like the competitors how can I extend the shelf-life of my syrups to be stored in a pantry at room temperature? Thanks, Dexter
