Description

Our natural sage hydrolate for foods is extracted from the species Salvia sclarea. The liquid is offered under the name Clary Sage natural hydrolate for food. Steam distillation gives the scent its purity, since the water takes up mainly the polar oxygenated volatile compounds of the flowering aerial mass from the plantations. The species is among the plants of the Lamiaceae family, in which the aerial mass retains the aromatic substances. The flowering stalk is processed, and the large capitate trichomes on the calyx of the flowers form and accumulate linalyl acetate and sclareol in their tissue. The medium strength of the aroma comes with a bitter, herbal and spicy side. The tone lies between colorless and slightly yellowish in every part of the volume. In Bulgaria, the plantations receive natural care and grow without chemical agents. The natural conditions preserve the balance of the volatile constituents and do not allow foreign residues in the material used for the extraction of this distillate. In addition, the liquid contains no preservatives or colorants. At the forefront of the leading constituents of the stalk are linalyl acetate, linalool and caryophyllene, which is why the herbal side comes to the fore in the overall olfactory impression. The clarity of the liquid is not disturbed in any part of it. The bitter line comes first, while the spicy one emerges later and completes the olfactory picture. The absence of additives makes the flowering stalk the sole source of the olfactory character of this product. Peltate glandular trichomes complement the covering on the calyx of the flowers in this species. The stalk origin of the sage can be perceived in the lasting part of the impression.

Application
Sage stalk hydrolate obtained by steam distillation is used in food preparation for its warm, herbal and slightly spicy taste. The liquid is added to sauces with an herbal aroma, to meat marinades with a light nuance and to salad dressings with a floral hint.
