NATURAL OAK CHARACTER FOR WINE, SPIRITS & BEER
Our untoasted French oak chips provide an effective and precise way to enhance wines, spirits, and beers with the natural characteristics of premium oak. They are ideal for producers seeking controlled oak influence while benefiting from a flexible alternative to traditional barrel aging.

For production, we use only carefully selected French oak sourced from renowned forest regions in France. The staves are naturally air-dried for a minimum of 24 months before processing. This slow maturation process reduces undesirable wood compounds and promotes the development of a refined and balanced wood structure.

NATURAL OAK AROMATICS WITHOUT TOASTING
Because the oak chips are untoasted, the original character of the wood remains at the forefront. They contribute subtle oak spice, delicate tannins, and elegant structure without introducing pronounced toasted, smoky, or vanilla notes.

This makes them particularly suitable for applications where freshness, balance, and natural oak expression are desired. The original aromas of the beverage remain intact while being harmoniously complemented by the oak.

VERSATILE APPLICATIONS IN BEVERAGE PRODUCTION
Untoasted oak chips can be used at various stages of production, allowing precise control over oak influence.

They are ideal for:

Wine production and wine maturation
Distilled spirits
Beer and barrel-aged beer styles
Cider and fruit wines
Experimental maturation and flavor development projects

Trial applications are recommended to determine the optimal dosage for each individual product.
