OAK CHIPS

FRENCH OR AMERICAN OAK

For many of our oak alternative products, you have the option to choose between French and American oak, allowing you to select the ideal aromatic profile for your specific extraction needs. French oak is known for its subtle, elegant tannins and delicate flavors, offering refined notes that complement the more nuanced aspects of wines, spirits, or beers. On the other hand, American oak brings bolder, more pronounced characteristics, with flavors often associated with vanilla, caramel, and coconut, making it a great choice for those seeking a stronger oak influence.

In addition to our oak chips, we offer a variety of alternative products designed to meet the diverse needs of your production process. If you're looking for more flexibility or different stages of flavor development, we recommend exploring our other options: Beans, Segments, Staves, and Barrel Kits.

Beans and Segments offer a more concentrated form of oak extraction, providing quicker integration of flavors during fermentation or aging. Staves, designed for longer-term applications, allow for a more gradual release of tannins and aromas, ideal for extended maturation. Our Barrel Kits are a convenient solution for revitalizing neutral barrels, offering an easy way to reintroduce fresh oak influence without replacing the barrel itself.

With this wide range of oak alternatives, you can tailor your flavor profile to suit your unique production needs, whether you prefer the elegance of French oak or the robustness of American oak. Each product is crafted to provide flexibility, control, and high-quality results, ensuring that your wines, spirits, or beers achieve the desired complexity and depth.
