Lime Tree Farm Solutions
At Lime Tree Farm Solutions, we believe in the power of local ingredients and the incredible potential they hold. This passion inspired us to create the Kilometer Zero liqueur line, a collection of artisanal spirits that celebrate the unique flavors of our country. Crafted with care and enriched with honey and propolis, our liqueur range consists of three variants – Lime Liqueur Cabuyao, Lime & Berry Liqueur, and Coco Liqueur – all offering exceptional taste alongside a touch of health.
Lime Tree Farm: The Birth of Kilometer Zero Liqueurs
Our journey with liqueurs began with our dedication to developing innovative lime products, as we initially started with a key lime plantation. We aimed to create a unique key lime spirit, enhanced with honey and propolis, and collaborated with an Italian liqueur maker to bring this vision to life.
When we introduced our Italian friend to the cabuyao fruit, however, he was immediately captivated by its unique flavor, even preferring it over key lime. This serendipitous discovery led to the creation of Kilometer Zero Lime Liqueur Cabuyao, marking the true beginning of our range of artisanal spirits.
Showcasing Local Ingredients and Endemic Fruits
One of the driving forces behind the Kilometer Zero liqueur line is our desire to spotlight local or endemic fruits that are often overlooked, despite their great flavor potential. Cabuyao and bignay are fruits that are relatively unknown even within our own country, yet they hold a wealth of flavors waiting to be discovered.
The cabuyao lime is a small citrus fruit known for its tangy and refreshing taste. Interestingly, the town of Cabuyao in Laguna was named after the cabuyao tree. These trees have become scarce in the area over time, however. Kilometer Zero Lime Liqueur Cabuyao not only captures the essence of this unique fruit but also pays homage to its cultural significance.
Bignay, meanwhile, is a small, berry-like fruit native to Southeast Asia. Its vibrant crimson color and tangy flavor make it a delightful ingredient for our Kilometer Zero Lime & Berry Liqueur. But beyond its taste, bignay is also packed with health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties, and helps support overall wellness. Plus, it is a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, which boosts the immune system, and dietary fiber, which promotes healthy digestion.
Celebrating Coconut: The Iconic Lambanog
In addition to cabuyao and bignay, coconut is one of Kilometer Zero’s key raw materials. In fact, we consider it as the flagship ingredient of our company, across all our brands and products, from beverages to food supplements and cosmetics. Additionally, we are deeply committed to uplifting coconut farmers by providing livelihood opportunities. We are registered coconut farmers ourselves, so we understand the importance of supporting this vital industry. This dedication led us to create Kilometer Zero Coco Liqueur, our own take on the iconic lambanog.
Lambanog is a traditional Filipino distilled spirit made from the sap of coconut flowers. It has a long history and is cherished for its smooth, potent flavor. With Kilometer Zero Coco Liqueur, we have reimagined this beloved spirit by infusing it with the sweetness of honey and the health benefits of propolis.
Why Honey and Propolis?
At Lime Tree Farm Solutions, we are passionate not only about flavors but about wellness, too. We are also a bee-based business and we recognize and celebrate the incredible health benefits of honey and propolis. Honey is known for its natural sweetness and soothing properties, while propolis – a resin-like substance produced by bees – offers incredible immune-boosting benefits. By incorporating these ingredients into our liqueurs, we add a touch of health to every bottle.
Supporting Local Farmers and Sustainable Practices
Our commitment to supporting local farmers and sustainable practices is an important part of everything we do. By sourcing ingredients locally and uplifting coconut farmers, we aim to create a positive impact on our community and the environment. Each bottle of Kilometer Zero is a reflection of our dedication to quality, sustainability, and the celebration of local flavors.
