I donât get that optionâŚI am too far awayâŚit really sucks so I got currency then if I order too heavy I also got customs. And I realized my dollar and the euro is literally 2 to 1 which is like 100.00 turns into 170.00 for nothing. But itâs worth it and im doing it. Better to have something I will forsure use

Peanut Butter (CSC) 1.5% (6-22-21) â Good Peanut Butters are out there, but they can be hard to find. Typically PBs fall into two categories, Dry and Salty, or Creamy and Sweet. Chefâs seems to have figured out how to MERGE the two !!! Yes, an almost perfect combination of a creamy, sweet, salty, peanut butter with some dryness which added to the complexity. At 1.5% it was full, present, and delicious, with nothing out of place. It was about mid-level sweet, and leaned slightly towards the creamy sweet, but only slightly. No bitterness could be found, and there was a certain earthy-ness that kept it grounded. Soup to Nuts might just be applicable here, as this one covered a lot of bases, and checked most of the boxes. I think it could be best summed up like a Creamy Jif peanut butter paired with crunchy salted nuts. With itâs authenticity, complexity, and dual personalities I could see many uses for this one. Easily 9.75/10.

Vanilla Ice Cream (CSC) 1.5% (6-24-21) â 2nd to last on deck in this huge series of Chefâs new SCâs. My initial reaction to this was, âThis might be the BEST Vanilla Ice Creamâ I have ever tried. 10ml later, that hasnât changed, and thatâs kind of a big deal. At 1.5% this one was a real show stopper, which had all the notes needed to convince you of itâs namesake. Missing were some of the commonly found dairy notes in some flavors, that were dairy, but not really Ice Cream. Chefs did a really bang up job on this one. Incredible mouthfeel for an ice cream, and while not âbutteryâ like another well known VIC, it didnât need it, you didnât miss it, and actually you didnât even WANT it. Iâm still trying to wrap my head around this one, but needless to say, all the players were here, creamy, rich, present, but not overbearing vanilla, and loads of mouthfeel. A few ticks above mid sweet, and no pepper, no off notes, no nonsense present. For a great, clean vanilla ice cream that truly captured all aspects of a VIC, this one should be on your rack. For anyone else, it should be on YOUR rack too !!! I would rate it at 10.1/10, but I promised Iâd never do that again. Easily, 10/10.

Waffle (CSC) 1.5% (6-27-21) â With this Waffle, this massive first run of flavors from Chefs will be completed. I have tested more than a few Waffles, and when I smelled this one, it immediately reminded me of a now discontinued INW Waffle-YC. Having never soloâd INWâs I canât do a direct A/B comparison, but suffice it to say this one was very good. Missing were some of the almost cake-y notes that some waffles have, and in turn this one had some great mid and dark tones to it. It was more like a whole wheat waffle than a lighter one. No overt wheat, but the grainy notes, and slightly thicker, darker-ness was easily observed, AND enjoyed. No sharp edges, or off notes, and was a little below mid level sweet. No overt butter or syrup, and that left it as a deliciously blank waffle canvas to work with. I really enjoyed the darker richness of this one. At 1.5% it almost felt like it could use a smidge more, but was in no was lacking. All in, this one presented as a great, somewhat darker, almost whole wheat waffle with some smoother, lighter notes. High points given for no obvious butter or syrup, leaving it ready to work. Easily a 9.5/10.

Wow, after completing this series, I have to say I was impressed, and there were quite a few unique flavors, some of which I could think of no direct comparison. Thanks again out to @Timwis for alerting that Chefs was releasing this, their own line of Super Concentrates, @lukeloop for figuring out realistic testing percentages, and of course thanks out to Leah @Chefs_Flavours, for sending these out for review.
Very impressive lineup, and some real winners. If youâve made it this far down, then I thank you for hanging in there for this entire series. With the run that I tested, I think I can highly recommend hopping over to Chefs and picking up some for your racks.
S.D.

Your ratings suggest so! I went and added everything you rated over 9 to start. Most of those seemed like ones I would use. Just deciding if I want the rest for good measure.
Thanks for all your hard work and valuable information.

Ended up with a few or 15. As always where to start!
But it will be here, this one really smells like a familiar biccy to me, Iâve always been partial to a biccy vape, so it may be a bit biased.
Then I remembered something about a promise and a 10.1 rating so I better try that ice cream too.
A couple of others that my nose seemed to like were the Creme Brulee and the Coconut Macaroons.

I tested this the same and this one seems great on first impressions. Ginger and mixed spice biccy. YUM! 
A nice ginger that doesnât dominate over everything but sits very nice in the mix, balanced well with the other spices poking in.
Although your reference to pumpkin spice tricked me at first, but they must be the same thanks to Mr Google.
Not overly spiced and this is a very good description to meâŚ
Definitely not a dry biscuit and no burnt edges, nothing off putting. I pick up some brown sugar in there, a softer biscuit I think. Similar to what Iâd expect from Gingerbread.
Really like it and could see it being fairly versatile and can see how a bit of Frosting or CCI would work well.
I would like to see how it would sub into a cheesecake for a different take on the base.

Mmm thatâs a good idea mate and that has me thinking of a cheesecake with peaches 
I know that ginger and peach go well together but Iâm not sure if there are other spices in that biscuit that might clash, only one way to find out I suppose.
