Your Guide to Authentic Hierbas Shopping
The growing popularity of herbal liqueurs means more options than ever—but not all hierbas are created equal. Here's how to ensure you're getting authentic, premium hierbas that delivers the true Ibiza experience.
Spotting Authentic vs. Mass Produced
Red Flags to Avoid:
- Mass-produced bottles with unclear ingredient sourcing
- Artificial coloring or flavoring additives
- Year-round availability suggests industrial production
- Prices significantly below $40-50 for 700ml bottles
Authenticity Indicators:
- Clear terroir statements (specific region/island sourcing)
- Family recipe heritage or traditional producer background
- Awards from legitimate spirits competitions
- Limited production runs or seasonal availability
- Transparent ingredient lists emphasizing wild harvesting
