What is Certified Organic Food Grade Alcohol?

Certified organic food grade alcohol is pure non-denatured alcohol derived from a raw material sourced from a certified organic grower.  Certified organic products must maintain a strict chain of custody accompanied by detailed documentation to ensure the final certified organic product has never been cross contaminated with a non-certified organic product. 

How are alcohol products Certified as Organic?

Certified food grade alcohol products, like Culinary Solvent, have undergone annual inspections by licensed organic inspectors who ensure the process at our distillery maintains the organic chain of custody throughout processing and handing.  The internal documentation, records, and SOPs for organic products are audited and approved before certification is renewed.
