Description
Our natural clary sage essential oil for food is obtained from the species Salvia sclarea. The product is known as Clary Sage natural essential oil for food. The species grows in Bulgaria, which is among the main European regions for its industrial cultivation. The plantations are maintained in a natural way, which determines the fully natural character of the extracted composition. The botanical family Lamiaceae, to which the plant belongs, unites herbaceous species with essential oil glands on the aboveground parts and on the calyces of the flowers. The composition of the oil remains fully natural, without added preservatives. Colourants are also not present in it, since only the substances that the plant itself secretes in its glandular apparatus pass into the liquid. The substances accumulate in the glands on the flowering stalk, which for this product serves as the only plant part used. The stalk yields a product whose colour lies between colourless and a pale yellowish shade. The shade remains light, because the aboveground part used releases colourless volatile compounds, while the pigments remain in the tissue. The aroma reaches a medium to strong degree of intensity. The pronounced character rests on a fresh base with a slight sweetness and a clearly perceptible floral-fruity note. The note belongs to clary sage and shapes the olfactory profile of the product. The olfactory profile goes together with the advantages of a raw material with a single botanical source and a clearly defined region of origin in the country. The advantages are complemented by the steam distillation, which carries over only the volatile fraction and thus preserves the purity of the fragrance.

Application
Clary sage essential oil finds application in the food industry as a delicate flavouring that gives a fresh and slightly sweet herbal nuance to a wide range of recipes. It is incorporated in small doses in the composition of spices, seasonings and dry mixes, where it contributes to a richer and rounder flavour profile without dominating the other ingredients. It is suitable for flavouring vegetable fats and olive oil, for enriching sauces, dressings and marinades, as well as for the fine seasoning of dairy products and mature cheeses. It finds a place in the preparation of savoury pastries, bakery products and light snacks, to which it brings a pleasant freshness and a feeling of lightness. It is often included in gourmet lines and in recipes for vegan and organic ranges, since it combines well with nut and vegetable pâtés, cold starters and plant-based alternatives to meat products. It is used for flavour accents in soups, creams and hot dishes, and also in the production of functional foods, in which the balance between aroma and taste is of essential importance. Thanks to its stable aromatic profile, the product is a reliable component for industrial formulas and for specialised dietary recipes in which an authentic herbal character and compatibility with natural diets are sought.
