How Aerona came about

In 2004, we the Joneses took part in a project called MENTERRA an ambitious and innovative three-year long pilot project aiming to develop new crops and plants, as well as traditional and indigenous ones. This is where we got to trial the aronia plants.

What is Aerona Liqueur made from

Aerona Liqueur is made from aronia berries, sometimes called black chokeberry, the fruit of the deciduous shrub native to eastern North America. It is sometimes used in landscapes for its creamy white flowers in late spring and colourful flame red autumn foliage contrasted with dark berries. The pea-sized, violet-black berries are harvested in autumn and have a strong, stable natural colour with a dry and sour flavour.

The brand name Aerona

Aerona has its origins in Celtic languages and it is predominantly used in Welsh. Aerona is the female gender of the Welsh word aeron meaning ‘berry’.
