CRYO HOPS® DOLCITA - 5 KG
Dolcita™ Brand c.v. is a new experimental hop variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company (HBC), originating from a 2016 cross between two experimental varieties. It is a high-yielding cultivar with an early harvest window.
Aromatically, Dolcita™ Brand offers a potent yet pleasant mix of citrus, tropical, and berry fruits. It presents notes of coconut, melon, ripe peaches, strawberries, blackberries, and a hint of blueberry, with undertones reminiscent of tropical candy, caramelized pineapple, and tangerine. Some describe it as evocative of dark rum and daiquiris, with a subtle earthy base that balances the fruitiness.
It is particularly suitable for Saisons, Farmhouse Ales, Fruit Beers, and is also an excellent choice to add a unique twist to IPAs and Pale Ales.
WHAT ARE CRYO HOPS®?
Derived from the Greek word ‘kryos’, meaning frost, Cryo Hops® is an industry-leading, cryogenic hop-processing technology used to separate whole cones into two components—concentrated lupulin and bract. Each component of the hop is preserved using low temperatures in a nitrogen-rich environment during the entire process, from separation to pelleting.
Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavor and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavors or vegetative material. Cryo Hops® pellets can be utilized anywhere whole-leaf hops and hop pellets are traditionally applied.
