Never had such problems with flavor on large fruited strawberries here. Try Senga Sengana if this variety is available in USA. This is a German masterpiece and a standard for a great flavor and production proved during the last 50 years so far.

But of course there is a certain difference in flavor and aroma between these Alpine strawberries we started from seed packets and those small fruited strawberries we can pick up in the forest near our dacha. Real wild strawberries are the best but their production is much lower from one plant, of course.
