A Diam cork is a technological closure that is made from cork and undergoes a special treatment called the DIAMANT process. This process is patented and has been validated by numerous independent laboratories worldwide. As a sommelier and brewer, I have had personal experiences with Diam corks and can attest to their quality and effectiveness.
The composition of a Diam cork is unique and innovative. It is made from cork, which is a natural and sustainable material. However, what sets Diam corks apart is the treatment they undergo using the DIAMANT process. This process uses super-critical CO2 to eliminate 2, 4, 6 – trichloroanisole (TCA) and 150 other compounds that can potentially taint the wine or beer.
TCA is a compound commonly associated with cork taint, which can negatively impact the aroma and flavor of the beverage. It can give off musty and moldy aromas, leading to a spoiled drinking experience. However, the DIAMANT process effectively removes TCA and other compounds, ensuring that the wine or beer remains pure and untainted.
One of the key advantages of Diam corks is their consistency and reliability. Each cork is treated using the same patented process, ensuring that the quality is consistent and the risk of cork taint is minimized. This is particularly important for winemakers and brewers who need to have confidence in the closure they choose for their products.
I have personally used Diam corks in both wine and beer production and have found them to be highly effective. The elimination of cork taint has led to improved aromas and flavors in the beverages. It has also provided peace of mind, knowing that the quality of the product is protected by a reliable closure.
In addition to their functional benefits, Diam corks also offer environmental advantages. Cork is a renewable and sustainable resource, and by using Diam corks, we are supporting the preservation of cork forests and the biodiversity they provide. This aligns with my personal values as a sommelier and brewer, as I strive to support eco-friendly practices in the industry.
Diam corks are a technologically advanced closure option that offers consistent quality, protection against cork taint, and environmental sustainability. As a professional in the industry, I highly recommend considering Diam corks for their reliability and positive impact on the drinking experience.
