The juniper berry is an essential ingredient in various industries, most notably in the production of gin. As a natural ingredient, the berries impart a unique blend of flavors and aromas that are influenced by their ripeness, oil content, and origin.
Our Juniper berries have qualities of Macedonian Juniper:
High Volatile Oil:
One of the most defining features of our juniper berries is their high concentration of volatile oils, particularly alpha-pinene. This not only enhances the fresh, pine-like character of the berries but also contributes to their flavor profile.
Combines Well with Other Botanicals & Blends:
Our juniper berries combine well with other botanicals, making them ideal for creating complex and balanced flavors. Whether used in distillation, teas, or aromatherapy, they enhance the overall botanical blend.
Distinctive Flavor & Aroma:
The ripeness of juniper berries plays a significant role in their rich flavor and aromatic profile. The pine-like taste is complemented by a subtle sweetness, making our juniper ideal for a variety of applications.
Excellent Yield in Distillation:
Our juniper berries are known for their excellent yield in distillation, making them a preferred choice for distillers. The high volatile oil content, particularly rich in alpha-pinene, ensures that even a smaller amount of berries impart a significant amount of flavor and aroma during the distillation process. This efficiency not only enhances the quality of the final product but also makes the process more cost-effective, as fewer berries are needed to achieve a robust and balanced flavor profile. Whether you’re producing gin or botanical extracts, our juniper berries consistently deliver optimal results in distillation.
Flavor Profile Acceptable by EU, Far-East, Oceania, North & South America:
Our juniper berries meet global flavor standards and are appreciated across various markets, including the EU, Far East, Oceania, and North & South America. Their rich and balanced flavor profile makes them a versatile ingredient across continents. Our berries are exported worldwide, with many importers using them as flavor in existing beverages and also for creating new products to highlight their superior taste. We carefully select and process juniper berries based on the intended use. Our juniper berries are food-grade and have been widely accepted by the USFDA, EU, and KFDA.
