As the vodka category shifts towards all-natural ingredients and “healthier for you” products, Belvedere Vodka has released Belvedere Organic Infusions.
Belvedere Organic Infusions is a new range of super- premium organic vodkas infused with unique combinations of all-natural fruits and botanicals and are 100% certified USDA Organic. The full range is additive-free, with no sugar and no carbs.
The Belvedere Organic Infusions range includes three organic variants: Pear & Ginger with a drop of Linden Honey, Blackberry & Lemongrass with a hint of Sage, and Lemon & Basil with a touch of Elderflower.
WHY ORGANIC INFUSIONS?
As Master Rye Distillers, crafting natural spirits of taste and character, Belvedere is committed to revealing the unexpected beauty in nature. Organic farming allows Belvedere to truly showcase this beauty with ingredients in the form that nature made them.
The Flavored vodka competitive landscape is heating up as key competitors shift their offerings to more mindful, natural variants in various formats. Consumers are looking for transparency in their products, and healthier options. Belvedere is the first super-premium brand to launch an organic range of products.
Belvedere takes the laborious, necessary steps it takes to convert the land and ingredients to certified organic.
100% of the ingredients that go into making Belvedere Organic Infusions are certified as organic by both the USDA and the EU. Being organic-certified ensures that every ingredient is traceable to its source. Every grower’s process and every production facility must meet the strict certification criteria. Growing and cultivating natural ingredients without the use of any synthetic fertilizers or synthetic pesticides means that farmers have to produce 4x more organic rye due to lower yields. It takes 3+ years to convert non-organic land to organic.
Despite the fact that organic ingredients are more difficult, time consuming and costly to produce, Belvedere is proud to commit to using only 100% organic-certified ingredients in Organic Infusions. Belvedere Organic Infusions are made with 100% organically certified Non-GMO Polska Rye blended with flavors obtained from 100% organic fruits, botanicals, and spices.
Once at the Belvedere Distillery, the energy of fire is harnessed to quadruple still, drawing out the character, depth and dimension of our rye, delivering the nuanced flavors and velvet textures of Belvedere Vodka. At this point, the 100% organic flavors obtained from a wonderful range of fruit, botanicals and spices are blended with filtered and purified water drawn from a natural artesian well on the grounds of the Belvedere Distillery, providing a f lawless backdrop for the flavors to shine through. After this, it’s left to rest for a few weeks, allowing the vodka to mellow. The resulting liquid is bottled on site, at the distillery.
