Qino One Vodka, Vodka From Quinoa
Filed under: Spirits
One of my favorite grains is the South American grain quinoa, it's got a distinctive nutty flavor. I wonder how that flavor will translate into vodka. Qino One is the first super-premium vodka made from quinoa. Qino One was created by French restauranteur Jean Denis Courtin and CC Spirits which was founded by Massachusetts couple Dan and Christine Cooney. The vodka is produced in france and made from fair trade organic Bolivian quinoa and Northern European rye. Distribution has just begun in the US. and it is already available in Massachusetts, California and several other states. It sells for around $27.[via South Coast Today]
