Green and Clean We use only the highest quality hop cones to ensure we produce the best quality extracts for our customers. Our extraction technologies are green and clean. During traditional methods of brewing, the key components of aroma and flavour can be lost. These volatile oils are essential in providing the characteristics of each and every beer. We have developed new techniques to ensure that these flavour and aroma-rich oils are captured enabling us to create innovative hopping solutions for our customers. Hop oils are highly complex and contain over 1,000 different components. Having captured the oils from the lupulin glands we can give you the whole hop character of a specific variety or can fractionate the oils to give you distinct flavours and aromas. If you were to add the hop oil directly into beer it just wouldn t work, so our highly skilled production team blend and package these components to create our usable, brewer-friendly product range. + 44 (0)1622 872105 7
