Paragon Timur Berry è parte della nuova linea di Cordiali Single Botanic di Monin, progettata Paragon Timur Berry is part of Monin’s new line of Single Botanic Cordials, designed to offer an encyclopedia of rare and precious flavors, difficult to find for those who want to create cocktails with a unique and high-quality touch. Paragon represents a true journey through exotic aromas and flavors and is divided into two chapters:
- The first chapter is dedicated to various types of pepper, including Timur Berry, White Penja Pepper, and Rue Berry.
- The second chapter, called the Mystic Collection, explores ancient and sacred fragrances such as Palo Santo, Labdanum, and Vetiver.
The cordial is produced using the rare Timur pepper from Nepal, which grows at an altitude of 2,000 meters in the Mahabharat region. This pepper, also known as “grapefruit pepper” for its fresh citrus notes, gives Paragon Timur Berry an unmistakable aromatic profile and is distributed in Italy by Velier.
Why It Is Different
This product by Monin stands out for its uniqueness and innovative approach to cordial production.
- New Product Type: Paragon Timur Berry is neither a syrup, a liqueur, nor a juice, but represents a new category of product called a cordial. It serves as a flavoring, sweetener, and acidifier, giving drinks a perfect balance.
- Aroma Extraction Technique: The flavor of this cordial is extracted using the Supermassive CO2 technique, which uses compressed carbon dioxide to capture all the aromatic facets of Timur pepper, providing the product with a unique intensity.
- Gluconic Acid: Paragon Timur Berry uses gluconic acid, obtained from the natural oxidation of glucose found in honey. This acid extends the aromaticity of the cordial, allowing it to add a unique dimension to the taste of cocktails.
- Rare Exotic Ingredients: Timur pepper is a berry that grows on thorny bushes in the Mahabharat and is a common ingredient in the cuisine of the Terai region in southern Nepal. This pepper is appreciated for its fresh citrus notes, which make it truly unique.
