Description
Our natural sage essential oil for foods is obtained from the plant with the botanical name Salvia officinalis. The product is offered under the name Sage natural essential oil for food. Its composition comprises solely the natural volatile fraction of the herb. Preservatives do not enter this fraction, and colourants play no part in shaping its tone. The natural cultivation method explains this purity, since the crop builds its volatile substances without stimulating agents in the open field throughout the entire season. Cultivation takes place in the fields of Bulgaria. The country lies in the southeastern part of Europe, from where the main commercial raw material of this botanical species comes. The species belongs to the Lamiaceae family and grows as a perennial subshrub in a temperate climate. The aboveground stalk of the subshrub releases its volatile content during steam distillation, which is why the fragrance remains pure and close to the fresh herb from the field. The fragrance starts fresh, passes through a light sweetness and ends with a floral-fruity roundness. The intensity of the fragrance is distributed evenly along the entire olfactory line and stays between medium and strong without abrupt changes. The pale yellowish tone comes precisely from the green aboveground material. The advantages of the distillate rest on the pure composition along with the Bulgarian origin of the raw material and the gentle separation of the volatile part from the mature stalk. The origin ties the oil to specific fields, and natural cultivation maintains the character of the raw material right up to the appearance of the finished liquid product. The sage stalk remains the sole source of the fragrance in the finished liquid. The product retains a liquid form throughout its entire volume.

Application
Natural sage essential oil is used as a flavouring in the food industry in the production of meat products, including pork, lamb and poultry, in cases where a traditional herbal taste and aroma is sought. It is suitable for use in marinades, sauces and dressings, where, dosed in small quantities, it enriches the flavour profile of the final product. It can be added to spice blends and herbal mixes intended for the industrial preparation of dishes. It is applied in the production of flavoured olive oil and vinegar, to which it gives the characteristic fresh tea-like note. It is suitable for bakery and confectionery products such as bread, crackers and savoury snacks, as well as for fillings with a traditional taste and herbal character. It is included in recipes for cheeses and processed meat products, providing natural flavouring, and also in soups, broths and Mediterranean sauces. It can be incorporated into ready meals, semi-finished products and potato specialities. Its use meets the requirements of EU food legislation for flavourings, and its natural properties contribute to extending the shelf life of products thanks to its antioxidant potential. It combines well with traditional Mediterranean spices, adding expressiveness without dominating the other flavours.

Storage

Store natural sage essential oil in a dark, cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Maintain a temperature of +5°C to +20°C to prevent oxidation and changes in quality. After opening, limit the amount of air in the packaging, and as the content decreases, pour the remainder into a smaller, clean and dry bottle. Use only aluminium or glass bottles for food products, preferably made of dark glass, which protect the essential oil for foods from light. Close tightly after each use so that air and moisture do not penetrate. Observing these conditions preserves the quality and safety of the product for a longer period.
