Bring refined, European‑style hop character to your beers with 2023 US Contessa CRYO® Hop Pellets from Northwest Hops. CRYO® technology concentrates lupulin and essential oils while reducing vegetal matter, giving you elevated aroma and flavour with a clean, smooth finish.
Contessa is known for its elegant blend of floral, herbal, honey‑like and soft pear and stone fruit notes, echoing classic noble hops with a modern twist. In CRYO® form, those traits are amplified—expect delicate floral, fresh herbal, light pear, stone fruit and a touch of tea‑like spice that works beautifully in lagers, pilsners, Kölsch, blonde ales and subtle hop‑forward styles.
These pellets excel in late boil, whirlpool and dry hop additions when you want nuanced aroma without grassy or harsh edges. Use Contessa CRYO® on its own for refined, lager‑friendly profiles or pair it with varieties like Hallertau, Saaz, Loral or Sterling to build layered, modern‑meets‑traditional hop character.
