Flavours / extracts 
The flavours have been known and used since Antiquity, but today they are the result of a real technicality, very complex, advanced technology and a drastic selection of raw materials.
At Arôbois, we offer a wide range of wood species to meet the specific needs of the food industry.
Food smoking
Smoking is a traditional method of conservation used for all types of food (meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, etc.), bringing aromas, specific according to the typicity of each wood, with an intensity ranging from mild to strong.
Today, beyond the only conservation use, this process has become a trend, both for manufacturers and for domestic food smoking, in meeting the market demand.
At Arôbois, we offer a wide range of wood species to meet these needs.
