About Pine
For something sweeter, try pine syrup from the Balkans, a natural sweetener infused with Scotch pine needles, ideal for glazing meats, drizzling over pancakes, or mixing into cocktails like a pine gimlet. We also stock pine needle teas and herbal blends, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, popular in traditional foraging recipes for soothing winter brews.
Sourced from sustainable forests, our pine range ensures top quality without compromising the environment. Store pine nuts in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness for up to six months, and keep syrups in a cool, dark place. Whether you're recreating Turkish pine nut cookies (çifte pine) or experimenting with pine-infused olive oil for bread dipping, these products add an aromatic twist to everyday meals. Perfect for foodies seeking natural, forest-fresh ingredients.
