Paragon Rue Berry
Ruta, or actually Ruta chalepensis, is grown in tropical Africa, more specifically in Ethiopia, where it is used as an herb or medicinal plant. The leaves have a strongly aromatic and sweet fragrance, while the berries of the ruta are characterised by a stronger and sharper flavour. Kuti, an infusion of coffee leaves, is traditionally flavoured with fresh Ruta chalepensis leaves, and some local cheeses are made using these leaves to add flavour and aroma to milk. Ruta berries are used in a famous Ethiopian spice blend called berbere.

We have teamed up with experts in botany and aromatics, using techniques used in perfumery to capture the most subtle and unique aromas of plants.

Give your cocktails a story and an unusual source: sourced directly from crops from Ethiopia, Cameroon, Nepal, Java, Spain and Gran Chaco. The product's uses are abundant. It can be a kind of condiment in cocktails or a base on which you create a multidimensional flavour. It pairs perfectly with white and dark spirits, from champagne to whisky.
