Highland Boundary, Scotland's award-winning wild distillery, and Jannetta's, a family-owned gelateria, have joined forces to create a series of sorbets crafted from Highland Boundary's wild Scottish botanicals, bringing the authentic taste of Scotland's native landscape directly to the people of St Andrews.

The new sorbet collection will feature unique flavours including Gorse and Scots Pine, made directly from these native plants and trees from around Highland Boundary’s distillery in Perthshire. Each sorbet is crafted using Highland Boundary's expertly distilled botanical extracts, combined with Jannetta's traditional gelato-making techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Highland Boundary, founded on the principle of being "nature positive," specialises in creating innovative botanical spirits, liqueurs and syrups using wild botanicals that celebrate Scotland's native flora while championing environmental regeneration. The distillery holds the distinction of creating Scotland's first Birch Spirit, Wild Scottish Bitters and Scots Pine product.

Speaking about the collaboration, Highland Boundary founder, Marian Bruce, said:
“This collaboration allows us to share Scotland's wild botanicals in a completely new way and by partnering with Jannetta's, we're able to showcase the incredible diversity and flavour potential of our wild Scottish plants in an entirely new way. These aren't just sorbets - they're edible landscapes that tell the story of our native plants and their incredible flavours - from the honey-sweet notes of gorse to the resinous complexity of Scots pine. We look forward to hearing what locals and tourists alike think of the delicious sorbets.“

Lewis Hazel, Managing Director of Jannetta’s added,
"Like true Italians, we are passionate about provenance and flavour, which is why we are so excited about this collaboration with Highland Boundary. This project allows us to tap directly into Scotland's natural larder, sourcing botanicals straight from the land. It is a celebration of what this country has to offer, Highland Boundary doing what they do best, and us doing what we do best.

"We are grateful for the opportunity to learn more about our native produce and challenge ourselves to showcase these unique flavours in our sorbets," said Jannetta's. "This creates something memorable, rooted in place, and crafted with care, just as our family has always done."

The new botanical sorbet collection will be available at Jannetta's in St Andrews now, allowing both locals and the thousands of visitors who flock to the historic town to experience this unique taste of the Scottish wilderness.
