BOTANIC BLONDE

BOTANIC BLONDE

history

Teo decides to offer his own interpretation of an alcohol-free craft beer, giving life to a 100% Italian creation, primarily characterized by the use of aromatic botanicals. This beer embodies all of Baladin’s expertise in skillfully playing with herbs and spices. A true beer, simply… alcohol-free and low in calories.

Brewed with 100% Italian barley malt and fermented, as per tradition, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains, it brings together hops, coriander, gentian, and essential oils of Cannabis sativa. To extract the Cannabis sativa aroma, an innovative technique—patented by the Italian company Milestone—was used. This method, based on microwave technology for the hydrodistillation of essential oils, ensures high aromatic quality while avoiding the use of alcohol, additives, or chemical solvents. To stay true to its name and make it even more intriguing, the brewmaster has added a "zen touch" to the recipe by incorporating passionflower—33 centiliters of positivity and relaxation in a can (with a full-opening lid).

Botanic is part of the Nutribev project, which Baladin is developing in collaboration with the University of Turin, with the support of the Piedmont Region, and in synergy with various business entities. The project aims to study functional foods and beverages through the reuse of production by-products, research, and the application of innovative processing techniques. As an alcohol-free, low-calorie, and sugar-free beer (containing maltodextrins), Botanic aligns with this research initiative. It also embraces green extraction technology, allowing for the extraction of essential oils from Cannabis sativa and hops without the use of additives or chemical solvents.
