Strawberry Gum

Strawberry Gum

Eucalyptus olida, commonly known as the Strawberry Gum or Forrest Berry herb, is a medium-sized tree from the Myrtaceae family that is endemic to the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales.

This native Australian tree has flowers that are cream coloured and highly aromatic leaves with the most exquisite sweet aroma and fruity flavour and has been used by First Nations culture for health and medicinal purposes for many thousands of years.

 

Strawberry Gum leaves are a wonderful source of antioxidants and have antifungal and antibacterial properties, which have been shown to play a role in balancing the gut microflora.

The leaves can be used year round fresh, dried or ground into a powder.  We absolutely love the unique flavour profile of Strawberry Gum and it’s ability to enhance both sweet and savoury flavours.  We find use for it in many dishes in our own home, such as cakes, desserts, jams, sauces and of course beverages.  The ETCH Sparkling PLM features Strawberry Gum along with Davidson Plum and Riberry and it adds to the sweet berry aromatics that this ETCH flavour is famous for.
