THE HISTORY OF GIN: from its origins to the present day.

Gin is an ancient and fascinating distillate that has a long history full of interesting details. Its origin is controversial, but it is thought to have originated in the Netherlands in the 17th century as an herbal medicine, Jenever. Later, gin became popular in Britain, where London Dry Gin, one of the world's best-known and most popular production methods, was created and will be discussed shortly.

The process of distilling gin has undergone many variations over time. In the 19th century, gin was produced by the "compounding" method, which involved mixing grain distillate with essential herbal oils. Today, the most common method of gin production is distillation, which involves the use of a still.

London Dry Gin, on the other hand, is a type of gin that is distinguished by its unique production method and characteristics. In fact, in order to be called London Dry, the gin must be produced with a set of precise rules, including a single distillation, no added sugar, and the use of natural botanicals.

Naturae Gin Fructetum is a gin made according to this method, using a selection of high-quality botanicals including Calabrian bergamot peel, Sicilian orange peel, apples from the alpine valleys, coriander and rosehips, thus creating gins with a unique and unmistakable aroma and taste.

In addition, the connection between the world of botanicals and gin is very strong. Botanicals used in the production of gin not only give the distillate its distinctive flavor, but also have medicinal and therapeutic properties. For example, juniper berries, are a powerful diuretic and anti-inflammatory.
