Our Commitment to Sustainability and the Environment

Culinary Solvent pure food grade ethanol distilled from 100% corn by the Northern Maine Distilling Company

Our Commitment

Wherever possible, we have taken measures to source our materials, supplies, and ingredients from sustainably minded vendors and small or local businesses.  Beyond our partnerships, the design of our system maintains heat transfer efficiency, no matter how big or small our distillation batches run.   

The Fuels We Use

To distill Culinary Solvent, we must first generate steam.  We use natural gas in our onsite low pressure steam boiler, which is significantly more efficient than their fuel oil counterparts.  

Sustainable Shipping

Wherever possible, we have taken measures to source our shipping and packing materials from sustainably minded vendors, with a focused switch to ensuring our materials are as close to 100% previously recycled and/or 100% recyclable in easy-to-find community recycling programs.  Note: due to the hazardous material (hazmat) nature of some of our materials, it can be difficult to achieve 100% recyclability.
