Sloe Juice Concentrate
Sloe concentrate – best known as a fundamental ingredient in the production of sloe gin – is available from Kiril Mischeff at 52° Brix.
The sloe itself is a type of plum, somewhat sour and sharp in taste, offering balance to alcoholic drinks including ports and wines, as well as a range of food products.
What is sloe concentrate?
Sloe concentrate is made by taking the juice of the plum and heating it to reduce the water content through evaporation. The result is a condensed, thickened liquid, far stronger in taste than a regular juice, and also considerably smaller in volume.
The reduced volume means sloe concentrate can be transported easily to manufacturing premises, before it is reconstituted to reform a juice later down the line.
