Strawberry Gum Bextract™ is a supercritical C02 extraction from native, pure and natural Eucalyptus Olida naturally dried and supercritical C02 extracted for full flavour extraction.
The Unique Essence of an Australian Native Strawberry Gum Eucalyptus olida
Hailing from the cool, high country of the New England Tablelands in New South Wales, Australia, Strawberry Gum Eucalyptus olida is a distinct native species treasured for its aromatic leaves. Traditionally, Indigenous Australians used the leaves for their sweet flavour and medicinal qualities. Unlike many strong-smelling eucalypts, Strawberry Gum has a uniquely gentle, appealing profile, making it a sought-after "bush food" ingredient. Our propetairy supercritical C02 extraction process captures this pure, volatile essence without the harsh notes, delivering a pristine and concentrated botanical flavour.
Aromas, Flavours, and Versatile Beverage Uses 🍓🌿
This exquisite extract offers a complex and highly adaptable sensory experience. The aroma is bright and uplifting, dominated by notes of sweet, jammy strawberry and delicate tropical fruit, underpinned by a subtle, fresh eucalyptus and balsamic lift. On the palate, the flavour is equally complex: sweet berry and citrus notes transition into a mild, cooling herbaceous finish.
In beverages, Strawberry Gum is exceptionally versatile. It brings a sophisticated sweetness and freshness to non-alcoholic drinks, working brilliantly in premium sodas, tonic waters, and kombuchas. In alcoholic applications, it shines in gin, complementing juniper and citrus, and adds a unique botanical twist to vodka, liqueurs, and craft beers (especially sours and pale ales). It's the perfect ingredient to impart a truly unique Australian native flavour signature.
