Oak Segments
We offer StaVin Oak Segments in all three toast preparations: Fire, Savour Oak Oven, and Barrel Head Oven. This product arrives in a 15-pound (6.8 kg) food-grade poly bag, ready for use in applications with a medium time frame before bottling.
Oak Segments are cut from our toasted full-length staves into 2-inch squares. Remember, as you decrease the geometric size of the oak product, the faster your extraction rate will be. Our minimum three-year seasoning is a requirement for every product that leaves our facility. Be assured that StaVin Oak Stave Segments can be used to mimic your favorite barrel program without sacrificing quality.
