Description

We offer natural basil hydrolate for drinks, obtained from the plant Ocimum Basilicum. Among international buyers, the product bears the name Basil Natural Hydrolat Drinks. The genus of the plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family, and the plant grows on fields in Bulgaria. The plant originates from tropical Asia and today finds its place in the warm agricultural regions of Europe. In Bulgaria, the crops are tended naturally, without agents of synthetic origin and without artificial feeding of the soil on which these plantations grow. Natural tending preserves the volatile reserve of the leaves, as the plants develop with a natural course of vegetation and without foreign chemical intervention. The leaves undergo steam distillation, which carries into the water only the soluble share of this volatile reserve. The water, together with the fragrant compounds dissolved in it, forms an entirely natural composition of the liquid. The composition remains free of preservatives and colorants. The absence of additives makes the plant material the sole source of the olfactory sensations that the clear liquid carries throughout its entire volume to the very end. The plant material gives the distillate a golden yellow color. The color is clearly visible when examined in daylight in the clear volume of the liquid. The scent of the distillate remains grassy-sweet. The sweet side softens the grassy opening, while the medium strength keeps the profile perceptible to the very end of the entire perception. The perceptible profile rests on the natural raw material, and in addition it owes its softness to the gentle extraction of the volatile compounds from the leaf mass. The softness remains characteristic of the aqueous phase throughout the entire volume of the product. The leaves of the plant shape the scent that this aqueous distillate retains throughout its entire volume.

Application
Basil leaf hydrolate is used as an aromatic ingredient in a variety of refreshing recipes for the warm months. It is suitable for lemonades with an herbal accent, as well as for homemade cold and iced teas, to which it gives a soft aromatic profile and additional freshness. In carbonated soft drinks, it adds a delicate plant note and aromatic depth, while in fresh juices and smoothie combinations it contributes to a balanced taste and a subtle grassy nuance. The product combines well with citrus and fruit ingredients, building a harmonious aromatic layer without dominating the other components. It is also used to flavor water for daily hydration, where it provides a light plant taste and a pleasant variety. In cold infusions, it reveals a delicate herbal character, and in summer cocktail mixes it adds a light nuance and a cooling sensation. It combines successfully with mint and other herbal tones in refreshing pairings with a soft aftertaste. It also fits well into functional recipes with a refreshing character, where a natural aroma and a balanced flavor line are sought, integrating easily and allowing precise construction of the desired flavor profile in both homemade and professional preparations.
