Position In The Recipe
Great part of a complex fruit base, also could be used as an accent to cream flavors providing contrast and making them pop. Can be used as a top note as well, and surprisingly good single flavor mix.
Pairings
Citrus fruits, berries, creams, tobacco's, bakeries, and vanilla flavoring.

Notes
>Sicilian Lemons are the best in the world, large, juicy and with a unique citrus tang. The Southern Mediterranean sun and rich Sicilian soil combine to produce a flavour that once tried, is never forgotten. Lemon Sicily lives up to that reputation and is delightfully refreshing to the palate.
Please if your opinion differs, or you have another review for this post it in the comments. Will help the master list with multiple reviews in one spot.
I'm a big fan of the INW lemon flavors for lemonades and fruit or fruit + cream mixes, but FA Lemon Sicily seems to get along so much better with bakeries than other lemons. Anyone else noticed this?
I can't get FA Lemon Sicily to taste right in bakeries. I've tried it in crunchy cereal, mixed it with Biscuit and cookie for a lemon cookie. Something is just really off to me.
I first thought "5%, HOLY COW" but then I see you let it steep for 6 weeks. Did you try it at 5% standalone right after mixing?
In my experience this flavor mellows out quite a bit over time. I made a couple different lemon cookie recipes with it and it was insanely strong at 2.5% right away, and after the cookie/creamy flavorings took over during the steep, it was decently pleasant, but I feel it was still lacking some juiciness.
I did try it right after mixing and was like lemon flavored turpentine. Stuck it in the back of the box then totally forgot about it, 6 weeks was longer than I intended to Let It Go, but I think it might be the perfect steep time for this flavoring.
Did you delete the original post...?
;) ya screwed up the header plz repost your comment
Lol. Well my comment was in response to your dislike for FA Lemongrass, comparing it to licking a Pledge nozzle haha. I said didn't get the "Pledge nozzle" flavor (or any other lemon-scented household cleaners) from FLV Lemongrass. I thought it was pretty spot-on compared to the real thing (if you've ever had lemongrass in food). It reminds me of a lemon head minus sweetness/sugar. It's not tart at all either. And there is a very slight woodsy, floral note that may be off-putting to some. I kind of dig it as a "seasoning" in recipes.
This is very late, but I want to let it be known that I threw FA Lemon Sicily @ 0.5% and FLV Lemonade @ 2% in a mix and it tastes a lot like Fruit Loops.
If anyone besides OP reads this, please let me know. I'm interested to see how many people are actually using the Flavor Reviews.
