Description
The source of Zubrowka’s wealth of qualities is a plant of unassuming appearance called sweetgrass, holygrass, Seneca grass or vanilla grass, or in Latin Hierochloe odorata. In Poland, it is referred to as bison grass(bison in Polish is zubr). Bison grass contains coumarin, a glycoside with a distinctive fragrance, oncegenerally used to flavour tobacco, cakes and beverages:
Wholesale Vodka suppliersToday, because coumarin has been found to have anticoagulant properties, it is allowed only in tiny amountswhich the Polish health authorities deem harmless. Zubrowka contains only about a dozen milligrams ofcoumarin per litre, derived from an infusion of one or two kilos of bison grass per thousand litres of vodka.The wild-growing grass must be harvested in good weather and at the proper time early in the summer, whenthe grass has reached the proper height and colour, but is still young and not yellowed. At that moment it ismost aromatic. The grass is harvested by hand. Then it is allowed to dry naturally in the breeze and sunshineand is bound in bunches, cut to the required length and delivered to the distilleries.In the distillery the grass is spread on screens and vodka is made to flow through the grass several times tomake an aromatic essence. During the next stage, this bison grass extract is mixed with pure vodka until theright colour, aroma and taste are obtained, following the traditional recipe. The ready vodka is left for severaldays to stabilise and harmonise. Experienced technicians and tasters monitor every step of the process. Finally,the vodka is filtered and the final product is bottled, with a blade of bison grass in every bottle for decoration.More Information
