Origin and production
“ A HERBLY RESIN SCENT FROM THE FORESTS OF EUROPE ”.
Juniper berries come from the evergreen juniper shrub, which grows across much of Europe, Asia, and North America. After harvesting, the berries are gently dried to preserve their intense aroma. For centuries, they have been an integral part of European cuisine and herbal medicine – prized for their aromatic depth and versatile uses, from game dishes to gin.
Taste and aroma
A robust, resinous flavor with fresh, citrusy, and slightly peppery notes. The berries combine bittersweet and earthy aromas with a crisp pine freshness, lending dishes a distinctive depth. Their intense, woody profile makes them unmistakable in both taste and aroma.
Application
Ideal for game dishes such as venison, red deer, or wild boar, but also for marinades, sauces, soups, and stews. Juniper berries harmonize perfectly with herbs and citrus notes – perfect for hearty dishes, but also as a delicate accent in jams, compotes, or drinks. Indispensable in gin production and in many classic European recipes.
Interesting facts
Juniper is considered one of the oldest spices in Europe. Even in the Middle Ages, it was used not only as a flavoring agent but also as a medicinal plant. Today, it symbolizes purity, freshness, and natural flavor in both cooking and the distillation of spirits.
