I have some DaVinci syrups in my pantry, which seem rather nice. They are
also quite expensive. A friend told me to check out Toriani SF syrups,
which she buys cheaply (3.99/750ml bottle) at Smart N Final. Both brands
are made with Splenda.

Has anyone bought the Toriani brand? Any comparisons between the two?

Thanks,

Couple of the coffee bars I go to use Toriani. I've also bought some for
home. It's a good brand. Flavor quality is equal to DaVinci.

I've bought Torani, and I like it fine, but I've never tried DaVinci,
they're too expensive for me. I've tried vanilla, black cherry, raspberry,
peach, almond, irish cream, and hazelnut. All good.

I've never heard of Smart N Final, thanks for the tip.

The only flavor where I noticed a difference is vanilla which I can buy
fairly cheaply ($5.29 aprox) at Super Wal-mart.

The only Torani SF flavor I tried was vanilla, because it turned up
in some supermarket. It had a strong aftertaste resembling shellac,
so it went in the trash. I never heard anything especially good about
Torani to seek any others out.

I keep a whole bunch of Davinci flavors that I mostly get mail order,
but I also buy the vaniila from WalMart, and a couple from Ross/TJMaxx.

By the way. The Atkins Maple Syrup states on the label:
REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING.

And which is better? Does the price indicate that is DaVinci?

i buy torani because i can't find davinci locally. I like it. Don't think
they have the favor variety as does the big D.

We did. They caused a massive blood sugar spike, so they are on our
"do not buy" list.
