Osanology
OSAN WERE DEVELOPED BY SAN DEGEIMBRE, THE TWO-MICHELIN-STARRED BELGIAN CHEF OF THE RESTAURANT L’AIR DU TEMPS.
Over the years, San has developed a highly personal cuisine, combining creativity and exceptional technical expertise to showcase nature’s produce in a refined, minimalist style. With five hectares of vegetable gardens, San is constantly exploring new ways of getting the best out of nature.
In this same thoughtful and innovative approach, and responding to a growing demand for alcohol-free drinks, San Degeimbre has created floral and botanical dynamisations.
One of the unforgettable experiences at L'Air du Temps is being served alcohol-free beverages that perfectly complement the menu, such as the famous plant macerations.
These unique creations, inspired by his garden, are served in his restaurant to offer an elegant soft-pairing experience designed for guests who don't want to or can't drink alcohol, without sacrificing any of the gastronomic experience.
OSAN is the result of our quest to make these exceptional products accessible to everyone.
A UNIQUE, NATURAL, ALCOHOL-FREE GOURMET DRINK
Osan are top-quality plant-based dynamisations based exclusively on organic, seasonal plant and floral products. They fall into the category of “gourmet” drinks, as they were originally created as a non-alcoholic alternative to be enjoyed with food.
Our drinks contain no refined sugars, artificial flavourings or colourings. They are easy to digest and low in calories thanks to their natural ingredients and low sugar content (acacia honey). The distinctive colour of each OSAN comes exclusively from the organic plants used in the production process.
OSAN was designed to offer the same gustatory experience to people who couldn't or didn't want to drink alcohol, by serving them a drink that was gratifying, satisfying and different. OSAN is a festive, alcohol-free alternative that's ideal as an aperitif, with meals or at brunch.
Unique craftsmanship
OSAN is produced by hand in our ateliers near Brussels. Our manufacturing process, which combines cryogenisation, maceration and dynamisation, is unique and enables us to get the very best out of each and every one of our ingredients to deliver an unparalleled taste experience. We produce at low temperatures to preserve the integrity of the antioxidants and polyphenols in each ingredient used.
Our natural process ensures an intense bouquet, subtle flavour, balance and length on the palate without the use of refined sugars, distillates or artificial flavourings. It is not an alcohol-free wine, flavoured water, fruit juice or fermented beverage.
Thanks to our exclusive, traditional production process, OSAN shines through with its subtle flavour.
A rewarding, unique, and natural experience
OSAN was designed to provide the same gustatory pleasure to individuals who couldn't or didn't want to consume alcohol, by offering them a gratifying, rewarding, and different beverage. OSAN provides an experience, a ritual, a subtle and complex taste that complements food and dishes.
