Juniper
berries are a spice used in a wide variety of culinary dishes and best known
for the primary flavor. Juniper is a coniferous evergreen shrub that belongs to
the pine family and is commonly found on mountains in Europe, North America,
and Southwest Asia.
Juniper berries, including Juniperus
phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus have been found in
ancient Egyptian tombs at multiple sites. J. oxycedrus is not known to
grow in Egypt, and neither is Juniperus excelsa, which was found
along with J. oxycedrus in the tomb of Tutankhamun. The berries imported
into Egypt may have come from Greece; the Greeks record using juniper berries
as a medicine long before mentioning their use in food.
The berries are green when young,
and mature to a purple-black color over about 18 months. The berries are
plucked from the branches of the plant once a year, and dried and ground before
distillation. They have traditionally been used as an aromatic aid to meditation
and had remedial applications.
We produce pure and fine quality Juniper berry essential oil Slovenia by the process of steam distillation of high-quality Juniper berries.
