Paragon Rue Berry 48,5 cl

Paragon is a range of single botanical cordials for bartenders. The first chapter is the Pepper Collection and comprises three variants: White Penja from Cameroon, Ru Berry from Ethiopia, and Timur Berry from Nepal. Paragon uses supercritical CO2 technology to extract the complex flavours of the botanicals.

Ru comes from the Ruta chalepensis plant, grown in tropical Africa, and more specifically in Ethiopia where it's used as a herb or a medicinal plant. The foliage has a powerful aromatic and sweet scent, while the berries have a stronger and spicier taste. Kuti, an infusion using coffee leaves, is traditionally flavoured with fresh Ruta chalepensis leaves, and some local cheeses are made using these leaves to add flavour to the milk. The berries are used in a renowned Ethiopian berbere blend of spices.
