Monarch Spices

Cryogenic Milling
Three components that deteriorate spices in standard ambient milling procedures are heat, light and moisture

Monarch uses a unique Cryogenic Milling procedure:
*Liquid nitrogen is used to cool product and mill head to as low as - 120° F while grinding
*Cryogenic Milling maintains more volatile oils (flavor & aroma) in spices and a more consistently ground product

Advantages:
*Increased flavor strength offers a cost cutting advantage for the operator – lower usage levels can be used in food preparation
*Since we start with higher volatile oils, shelf life is often increased as well
