Carob Fruit
The story says St John the Baptist ate this fruit during time spent in the desert. The fruit is the by-product of the locust bean gum, and the tree itself is very drought and pest resistant, not requiring much water, and so it fits the hot climate of northern Africa and the South of Spain. The fruit is carefully selected for its taste, and Natara offers unroasted and roasted qualities. St John’s Bread is a very versatile extract that can be used in any brown flavors, including chocolate or vanilla as well as beverages and any other snacks and sweet applications.

This plant grows wild in the French and Spanish mountains, and we use both wild and cultivated sources.

This extract is used in cocktails, mocktails, and in some baking and snacks applications. It is widely used for its unique bitter taste profile, seconded by its floral tonality. The interesting aspect is its bitter taste temporality. Contact a sales representative to find out more.

The product consumer home penetration rate is very high in North America, and widely popular in other parts of the world. Various grades are available depending on the taste profile target (woody or sweet forward). The bark is harvested during warm season in a non-destructive way for the tree; it is dried then extracted at low temperature. Our product is rich in tannins that have great antioxidant effect.

Oak wood
The master of trees. The first thing to come to mind with oak wood may be wine and liquor barrel ageing, but oak can deliver so much more. The wood is harvested through a rigorous forest management process throughout the East coast of the US. It is cut and set to age in open air for a minimum of two years, for up to four years, to maturate. This stage is important to neutralise the ‘green’ taste. A unique process of toasting is followed by a hydroalcoholic extraction, to obtain a strong and balanced profile, to fit all types of applications.
