No 600 Rhön mountain meadow hay - spirit

Grasping nature with all your senses only works if you can be completely in the here and now. Many people succeed in doing this away from the hustle and bustle of nature. Perhaps it is primal instincts deeply rooted in our genes that make us quiet in such moments and heighten our perception. Fragrances that surround us in such moments of contentment dig deep into our olfactory memory. And so many will associate the smell of hay with a summer walk through the meadows and fields of their childhood.

It was our goal to preserve exactly this smell in a spirit and thus have it at hand at all times. To do this, we macerated sun-dried organic mountain meadow hay from the Rhön UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and distilled it very gently. The result is a spirit that has far exceeded our expectations in terms of activating the olfactory memory.

Our mountain meadow hay spirit combines the soothing scents of summer dried hay with the scent of aromatic herbs and fragrant wild grasses that only thrive in such unspoiled nature and transports you in an instant to a freshly mowed meadow. So-called coumarins, which are also found in woodruff, tonka bean and cinnamon cassia, are responsible for the typical hay smell when grass dries. These are partially glycosidically bound in the living plant and are only released when the plants wither by splitting off the sugar. The coumarin with its sweet, herbaceous and spicy fragrance and vanilla-like flavor thus also points the way for all creative people in the kitchen and bar to use this unique spirit.
