Ingredient Overview
Gentian root is a classic bitter botanical. The yellow gentian, Gentiana lutea, has a long association with European bitters and herbal preparations.
Bitterness is central to gentian’s identity and its history in botanical beverages and herbal preparations. The root supplies a strong sensory character that can shape a blend even when it is only one component. A dry extract provides a convenient way to work with this distinctive European root botanical.
