Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre blended their first Torani Italian syrups using authentic recipes brought from Lucca,Italy. The enterprising couple shared their naturally flavored syrups throughout their North Beach neighborhood. Mixing their rich Torani syrups with sparkling water andice, they introduced the classic Italian Soda to café owners. This bright,refreshing creation quickly caught on with thirsty customers. In time, Torani’s reputation for creating syrups of the highest quality and greatest variety grew. In the 1980’s, Torani and good, old American ingenuity came together in an unexpected and flavorful way. “Brandy” Brandenburger, a coffee industry veteran, noticed the brightly colored Torani bottles while visiting San Francisco’s landmark café, Caffé Trieste. Experimenting with the naturally flavored syrups, he created a new American classic—the flavored caffe latte. The rest is coffee history. For decades, Torani’s red, gold and blue labels have been part of the café lifestyle. Today, Torani is the best-selling specialty syrup in North America and a sign of good taste around the world. What began as five traditional Italian flavors has expanded to more than 80 naturally flavored syrups and a host of creative flavoring ingredients, including the Torani Blended line. Each Torani product is still made using only the finest ingredients and a careful blend of all-natural extracts. For the finest in flavoring ingredients and beverage creativity, reach for Torani. | | | Features: | |

A good way to try the other flavorsSep 09, 2010
By Jolly Green Giant I loved half of these flavors, liked one, and dumped the one down the drain. I'm glad I ordered this six pack though so I didn't make the mistake of buying a three-pack of one of the flavors I didn't like. Here's what I thought of them:
Vanilla - EXCELLENT! I've used this syrup in ice cream, coffee, diet cola, and even in a low-carb crepe recipe. It's really good and one that I will re-order on it's own.
Hazelnut - Yummy, rich flavor. It's great in coffee. I would order this again.
Raspberry - I loved this one also. It's great in coffee and berry smoothies.
Chocolate - I liked this one but it is VERY STRONG. Literally, one drop in a glass of diet cola will make it into a chocolate coke. It's good, but you don't need much. It didn't work well in coffee.
Irish Creme - I knew I wouldn't like this one so it remains unopened. I made a mistake of buying a three pack of this one once and hated it. I'll give it away to someone who will enjoy it.
CLASSIC Caramel - I don't know why Torani insists on making "Sugar Free Caramel Syrup" and "Sugar Free CLASSIC Caramel Syrup". The Classic Caramel is terrible. After experimenting and trying to find a use for this syrup I just dumped it down the drain. It's not worth it. Avoid this one.

Six for the price of two ...Dec 13, 2010
By Roberta Karchner I actually got this package as a "Black Friday" deal on Amazon, so my price was even lower than the one posted here. I couldn't believe that they had it on the sugar-free variety pack! So 6 bottles for less than 2 bottles, with my Amazon Prime ... was a deal I couldn't resist.
My favorites are the Raspberry, Vanilla, and Chocolate, although I also enjoy the other three flavors.
If you aren't familiar with the Torani syrups, they are an excellent addition to your coffee, your frappes, your oatmeal, your hot chocolate: almost anything you sweeten, you can add a little Torani flavor. And unlike the creamy texture of other liquid chocolates, these are "clear." In fact, if you ask for a squirt of flavor at your local coffee shop, most likely you will receive it from one of the Torani bottles!
This summer I bought the Mr. Coffee BVMC-FM1 20-Ounce Frappe Maker and started making Ice Blended coffee at home. While I love using the flavored coffees, it is difficult to find my favorites locally in a decaf blend. It is also impossible to find most of the Torani sugar-free flavors locally, which I need as a diabetic. So throw some of this in with my regular decaf, and WOW!!! I'm in love.
Note - The one kind available in my local grocery store is a 12-oz bottle for $5, comparing to than $10 for each of these bottles. Do be cautious if you are buying the single bottles on Amazon - which run much higher than that. However, this variety pack works out to a fantastic price.
Great Taste - Great Price - Great Product. My husband only wishes that the cherry flavor came in this deal, but hey, that means I get to use all of them.

Great price and selectionMay 04, 2011
By Wendy The package of 6 price is amazing. I have been buying these in my store. One small bottle costs about $6.00. When I saw these, I thought I would never go through all of them, I'm now ordering my second set. I even ordered the pumps, which makes it super easy to measure how much you are adding, one pump or two. Normal flavor 2 pumps, chocolate often just 1 (it is strong), extra flavor or large cup might be 3.
I mainly use these in coffee. I've found flavored coffee just doesn't taste as good. I talked to a friend who owns a coffee store and he said none of the coffee stores will use the flavored coffee because you just don't get a lot of the flavor, that is why they all use the syrups, more variety and better flavor.
My main suggestion is to not be afraid of mixing the flavors, again a trick I saw in the coffee shops. I found mixing the caramel and chocolate in my coffee with milk is as close to a starbucks latte that I can get. I didn't like the raspberry much until I added a tiny bit of chocolate. Wow chocolate covered raspberries! This is great on vanilla ice Cream too. So if you find you don't like one of the flavors, try adding a bit of another.

I've Had Better but Not in Sugar-FreeMar 11, 2011
By H. Ritchey My local grocery store only carries the vanilla Torani syrup in the sugar-free version, and so I decided to order the variety pack from Amazon to see what I thought of their other flavors. I try to limit my sugar intake, so that's why I was so keen to get a variety of sugar-free ones. Interestingly, I found that the different flavors do better in different types of drinks.
Vanilla - This is still hands down one of the most versatile flavors. I add it to carbonated water and make my own creme soda. It also does well in hot chocolate and coffee, and I've also added it to baking recipes when I've been in a pinch and out of vanilla extract.
Raspberry - I'm not usually a huge fan of artificial raspberry flavors, and I don't like this one in coffee or hot chocolate, but it is absolutely wonderful in iced tea! Who knew? I was prepared to donate this one to the office coffee stash, but on a whim added it to my iced tea when I was out of Splenda, and wow, it's very good and seems to lose the funky aftertaste in the tea.
Caramel - I'm not overly impressed with this one, but it does work well in adding to my oatmeal in the morning to liven up the plain oats. It tastes even better with a dash of cinnamon, but I don't use this one in drinks because it just tastes kind of odd. It's almost like they couldn't decide between caramel, butterscotch and some other random flavor and kind of went with the middle ground. I wouldn't order this flavor by itself.
Chocolate - This is another one that I've added to my oatmeal at breakfast and have been happy with the result. This one also works with coffee, but not tea.
Irish Creme - I'm a big Irish Creme fan usually, but this one is just kind of so-so. I do like it in a glass of hot milk for a steamer, and it's okay in hot chocolate, but tastes weird in coffee.
Hazelnut - This is a good one for coffee, hot chocolate and oatmeal. I combine it with the Chocolate one in the oatmeal and it tastes kind of like a Ferrero Rocher, and makes my daily breakfast feel like a bit more of an indulgence than it really is.
I ordered the Variety Pack on the Subscribe and Save 4 month rotation, and had to go in and cancel the second shipment because I'm only about halfway through the bottles. It's a toss up as to whether or not I'll completely cancel the subscription because these are sugar-free and it's so hard to find flavor additions that don't come laden down with teaspoons of sugar.
Amazon - it would be wonderful if you could offer a make your own variety pack of the Sugar-free syrups! I've seen other Torani sugar-free choices, but I don't want to make the commitment to a 6 pack of a single flavor. I'd definitely order a lot more of these syrups if I could mix up the Variety pack to be more than just these 6 flavors.

Great Variety!Mar 08, 2011
By Pamela M. Waligorski Love all the flavors! Only thing I didn't like is these bottle are plastic, which is great, but the ones you buy in the store are not. All my pourers do not fit these new plastic bottles! Other than that, this is a great deal on a great variety of sugar free syurps!!
