Description

We offer natural nettle hydrolate for drinks, whose source plant bears the botanical name Urtica Dioica. The distillate bears the name Nettle Natural Hydrolat for Drinks. The leaves serve as the raw material for extraction. The stem and leaves are densely covered with stinging glandular hairs, which form the characteristic surface of the aerial part of this herbaceous plant species. The plants grow on Bulgarian land and are cultivated naturally, without auxiliary artificial substances on the plantations. The composition follows this approach, as preservatives and colorants remain outside it. Extraction is based on steam distillation. The aqueous phase takes up a limited range of compounds, which is why the aroma of the finished liquid remains clean and free of nuances foreign to the plant. The species releases few volatile substances and stands apart from the classic essential oil plants, which keeps the scent at a soft level throughout the profile. The fresh and earthy directions lead the profile, while the herbal notes follow them closely and complement the overall picture of the scent. Alcohols make up the main share of the aqueous fraction, and in fresh raw material hexenol contributes the grassy green nuance recognizable in the fresh part of the profile. The Urticaceae family unites herbaceous species without a pronounced woody part. The color ranges from colorless to pale yellow. The leaf raw material releases few coloring compounds, so the tone of the liquid remains light and close to the aqueous base. The product is a liquid with a consistent density over time. Along with the absence of added colorants, the liquid retains its natural light appearance under normal conditions. Nettle lies at the basis of this distillate and gives it a moderate green nuance in the fresh direction of the profile.

Application
Nettle leaf hydrolate is used in the preparation of refreshing non-alcoholic drinks, where it adds a fine green nuance and a balanced taste. It is also suitable for herbal infusions and cold brews, to which it imparts a delicate grassy aroma and a mild aftertaste. In flavored waters, the product adds a light herbal accent, and in carbonated compositions it contributes to a pleasant freshness and a refined aromatic profile. Good results are also achieved when combining it with fruit and herbal combinations, in which it creates a harmonious unity between the fresh and earthy notes. Syrup solutions and liquid concentrates are another suitable area of application, as the hydrolate allows control over the intensity of the aroma upon subsequent dilution. During the warm months, it is successfully used in summer refreshing blends with a light grassy accent, and in aromatic elixirs it ensures a smooth unfolding of the herbal profile. Thanks to its delicate aromatic strength, the ingredient fits naturally into various recipes without changing their character and helps achieve a balanced and complete taste.
