MURI × Kadeau: Paradisbakkerne

A Foraged Bornholm Collaboration. MURI × Kadeau: Paradisbakkerne was the first collaboration MURI ever released, made in partnership with Restaurant Kadeau and issued in 2021. The blend was built around pickled Nobilis pine cones foraged from the Paradisbakkerne woods near the restaurant, on the Danish island of Bornholm. Kadeau pickled the cones before MURI infused them into the final blend, and the completed blend was then fat washed with a wild rose butter. According to MURI, the pickled cones tasted of aromatic crisp apples, a character carried into the finished drink.^[1],[2],[3]

Pickled Nobilis Pine Cones — Aromatic Core. The defining component was a batch of Nobilis pine cones foraged from the Paradisbakkerne forest on Bornholm, near Restaurant Kadeau. Kadeau pickled the cones, after which MURI infused them into the final blend. MURI describes the pickled cones as tasting of aromatic crisp apples, a scent and flavor that carried through into the finished drink.^[1],[2]

Wild Rose Butter — Fat Wash. The completed blend was fat washed with a wild rose butter. In MURI's fat-washing method, fat is added to the blend in liquid form, then the liquid is chilled so the fat solidifies and can be strained off, leaving an aromatic liquid behind.^[1]
