The multifunctional ingredient
hops & hop products
As a variety‑driven botanical, hops demand true portfolio depth and BarthHaas offers access to the world’s largest hop portfolio. From heritage varieties such as Saaz and Citra® to new breeds like Krush®, Dolcita® and Hüll Classic, we span all major growing regions and supply raw hops, pellets, CO₂ extracts, distilled and fractionated products, along with tailored aroma and bittering solutions.
flavor & taste
While hops are often associated with beer bitterness, they deliver far more — from citrus, tropical and fruity notes to targeted flavor modulation such as masking, enhancing or suppressing. With more than 1,000 active components, hops can shape bitterness, flavor and mouthfeel. Our portfolio includes classic brewing ingredients, customizable essential oils and bittering solutions in standard delivery systems or 100% hop‑based compounds. All natural. All hops.
functionalities
Hop‑based solutions add functionality beyond taste. They support flavor complexity, masking and enhancement, while their distinctive bitterness fits especially well in adult beverages. Hop products can also contribute to mouthfeel, perceived depth, foam enhancement or suppression, and attractive haze through hop‑based cloudifiers. In addition, hop bitter substances are known for their bacteriostatic properties, and hops have a long tradition in herbal applications and cosmetics.
