Which category does FLUÈRE belong to?
Fluère belongs to a whole new category called non-alcoholic distilled spirits.
What is a non-alcoholic distilled spirit?
This is a completely new category; our non-alcoholic spirit is made using steam distillation. Distilling is the separation of substances, utilizing kettles, to produce the purest extracts.
"Steam distillation is a technique employed to distill alcohol or extract essential oils from organics by passing steam through the plant material. Temperature sensitive compounds which would normally break down through simple distillation vaporise at lower temperatures when subjected to steam in the vapour chamber or column. This allows for the separation of essential oils, which tend to be less soluble in boiling water, from chemically complex materials. When the steam passes through the organic material tiny pockets that hold the essential oils open to release the essential oil molecules without damaging or burning these delicate components."
Is there really no alcohol in FLUÈRE?
Like some other food products e.g. vinegar and orange juice, Fluère contains trace amounts of alcohol but less than 0.1%. This is why we are classified as non-alcoholic vs. alcohol free. The <0.1% alcohol comes from the natural fermentation process that takes place with fruits and our other botanicals before distillation.
