ShareSnusInfo - what is the recipe for Gotlands Yellow?

[Ansel]

I have given up...

How are you Monkey?

[sharesnusinfo!]

I'll come right out and say it. I want the recipe. You're not making the snus any more Jimmy, you don't need the recipe - so what is it?

It's obviously bergamot flavoured - when I smell a can of Gotlandssnus Yellow I smell the same kind of aroma as I do with J & H Wilson's S.P no.1 snuff. I feel like I have worked out the right kind of tobacco to use to get the flavour right - but I'm struggling with the flavouring oils - no bergamot oil I have ever bought has come close to the taste you got with your discontinued snus. Where did you get the oils from? And was it purely bergamot oil or a blend of other citrus oils with the bergamot?

We need answers to be able to still enjoy the best snus ever created on this planet now you refuse to make it. Please answer me - if you no longer want to manufacture this snus what can you have to lose?

Cheers

Dear Squeezy

As you may think i can´t give any recepie away

Get hocked up with a great Flavor vendor in the us ( A tip is: Horner international USA ) and get some samples of high quality flavors and try to mix a recipie lookalike you self..

The flavor is also very much from he tobacco blend, try to mix many different aircured tobaccos to get the flavor you like.

Well thanks for replying anyway Jimmy - yes, I guessed that would be the answer! But if you don't ask - you don't get.

Thanks for the tips on the flavouring company as well.

Cheers

Hi there,

Found this supplier in Europe who seem to take the art of flavouring to a very new level!

Does that look like the kind of thing you mean Jimmy?

I like "The essence of meat" flavor! lol

Squeezy, I think this is what Jimmy is referring to. A good supplier of food grade flavorings. Sosa is one of the best when it comes to essences for Gastronomic science. There are a few companies here in the US that can custom create essences but they can be quite expensive. What you're looking for is a true essence without an alcohol base as alcohol based flavorings have the tendency to either add off flavors or dissipate too quickly when heat is applied. Just my culinary 2 cents. :-)
