Oak Complements are a range of products and services that help beverage producers achieve the same benefits of traditional barrel aging without the economic cost or the environmental impact that barrels demand.
BENEFITS
The average price of a new barrel, storage costs, maintenance and labor associated with traditional barrel programs make oak complements far more cost-effective. Efficiency and consistency will also improve product quality.
BENEFITS
The carbon footprint of oak complements are minimal compared to that of a barrel. Easier production, lower water usage, and more efficient transportation all have a positive environmental impact.
