Da Vinci vs. Torani - which tastes better?

I'm interested in strawberry, butterscotch, blueberry and caramel. 

Which tastes better?
Are the textures different?  (Is one thicker/thinner than the other?)
Etc, etc, etc.

I've tried them both, & I have to say I prefer DaVinci by a landslide.  Their SF caramel is too die for..Torani..umm not so much.  I love all the DaVinci flavors, but it's obviously easier for people to find Torani in stores.  I order all the DaVinci  on line from www.davincigourmet.com

ETA:  The biggest difference I think is the caramel flavor.  I think DaVinci is both thicker & tastes better, but that's just my 2 cents.  You may not find people that have tried both of them.

DaVinci for me as well.  Vanilla and caramel.  Make my own Caramel Macchiato.  Super Walmart carries DaVinci.  It is less expensive than Torani.

I have to say that prefer the davinci by a long shot... The taste is cleaner to me without any aftertaste. I don't really like the aftertaste associated with Torani. I haven't really noticed any texture difference.

I prefer Torani. They have fewer flavors than Davinci but they are truer to what they should taste like IMHO.

Davinci has a few really unique ones but Torani gets my vote.

Starbucks SF Cinnamon Dolce is also a fav and available to buy at the stores.

Michelle,
I've seen you mention this one before and wondered what exactly does this taste like??  Cinnamon I get, but what is "dolce?"  I'm not a coffee drinker, so I have never even been IN a Starbucks!  LOL

Hey Lea,

Dolce is "sweet" in Italian... it's basically Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavor.

I use it in my coffee at home and it's veeerrrry good in Ricotta Cheese.... makes it taste like a cannoli.

Ah....  I did buy a bottle of Torani SF brown sugar cinnamon flavor syrup.  Ever tried that one?  I've not yet even broke the seal on it.  Want to give me some ideas on how to try it out???

I also bought
strawberry
french vanilla
english toffee
malibu rum
coconut
almond

And, I already had
vanilla
caramel

Most of those are Davinci.  The brown sugar cinnamon one is the only one that is a Torani...

Ideas for use are welcome!!

I prefer Torani,  Smart and Final sells them in California.  The price is about $3.99 for a large bottle.
