QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

At our company, quality and sustainability are at the forefront. Our eco-friendly oak adjunct products come exclusively from carefully selected partner cooperages in France and the USA. This collaboration enables us to maintain the highest quality standards while promoting responsible use of natural resources.

The fine-grained wood we use is sourced from the renowned forests of France and America. French oak is globally appreciated for its dense structure and its ability to infuse delicate aromas into wine and spirits. American oak is known for its stronger vanilla and caramel notes, giving aged products a unique depth. Both types of oak offer unparalleled quality, perfected through a careful drying process.

Before the wood is processed, it is air-dried for at least 24 months in the open air. This natural aging process is essential for gently stabilizing the wood and removing unwanted bitter compounds. Only after this thorough aging is the wood further processed to achieve the desired qualities for refining wines, spirits, or beers.

Our wood alternatives are not only a sustainable option but also help reduce the ecological footprint by enabling efficient use of resources without compromising on quality. They are the perfect choice for producers who prioritize sustainability while still ensuring top-tier aromas and aging processes.

Through our close partnership with experienced cooperages and our commitment to environmental responsibility, we create products that meet the highest quality standards while preserving the environment.
