Polish vodka goes back to black

Spirits producer Roust Group has introduced a vodka variety in a bottle made of black transparent glass which emphasises the liquid inside.

The long neck makes pouring easier, while the bison grass engraving connects with the brand's roots, according to marketing director Alicja Jelec.

Zubrowka-Black1

The Żubrówka Black (Czarna) vodka draws its taste from the richness of the primeval Białowieża Forest in Poland, undergoing a filtration process which uses charcoal from Białowieża oaks.

The water for Żubrówka Black is drawn from springs in this forest, and high-quality wheat is used for producing the neutral spirit that comes from Polish farms.
 
The special character of Żubrówka Black is not only emphasised by perfectly selected ingredients but through its unique packaging. 

Food & Drink Business

Yarra Valley-based non-alcoholic distillery, Banks Botanicals, has been acquired by Alchemy Distillers – aiming to support the brand in its next stage of expansion and innovation.

Pure Foods Tasmania (PFT) has acquired premium ice cream brand, Elato, as it looks to restructure its frozen desserts portfolio and establish a new multi-brand ice cream division.

Australia’s food system is under pressure. Climate disruption, rising costs and growing demand for transparency are creating complex challenges for farmers, food businesses and communities. A new report from Food Connect Foundation argues that the solution lies in rebuilding the “missing middle” of food infrastructure, and offers a strategy for how communities, industry and investors can do exactly that.
