HOW IT BEGAN

From a Familiar Tradition to a New Beverage Category

Birch sap was part of Natalia Schindler’s life long before it became a business.

Growing up, she joined her parents each spring to collect fresh birch sap in the forest, during the short period before the buds opened and leaves appeared. It remains one of her vivid childhood memories.

After moving to Austria, Natalia saw an opportunity to introduce this familiar but largely unknown product to a new market. She believed birch water could bring something genuinely different to the assortment of Austrian health and organic retailers.

Introducing an unfamiliar beverage category required substantial work — not only developing the products, but also explaining what birch water is, how it is collected and where it could fit within a modern retail environment.

In 2015, Absolutely Wild® was officially registered as a brand.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE BRAND

Why the Name Absolutely Wild®

The name Absolutely Wild® reflects the natural origin of the ingredients at the heart of the brand.

Birch sap used for the products is collected from naturally growing birch trees in mixed forests of the European Union rather than from plantations. The wild blueberry juice is made from forest-grown wild blueberries gathered by hand in European forests.

For Natalia Schindler, these products connect long-established traditions of gathering food from the forest with modern beverage production.

Absolutely Wild® brings that connection into a contemporary product range — preserving the identity and origin of wild forest ingredients while applying modern standards of production, packaging and commercial distribution.

PRACTICAL CATEGORY EXPERTISE

From Forest Collection to the Retail Shelf

Natalia Schindler’s knowledge of birch water extends across the full product journey — from the collection of fresh birch sap to production, product development, bottling, commercial preparation and its final presentation in retail.

Her understanding is not based only on finished products or supplier specifications. Natalia has personally taken part in traditional birch sap collection and has also been present during the collection of sap intended for commercial beverage production.

She has been directly involved in developing birch-water beverages. New concepts were created through hands-on formulation work: combining selected ingredients, tasting the result, adjusting the balance and repeating the process until the intended flavour profile was achieved. This approach was used, among other projects, in the development of the Birch Power range, which included formulations with matcha and aronia.

This first-hand perspective provides a practical understanding of a product that requires careful handling from collection through production. It also provides insight into how the natural characteristics of birch sap influence formulation, processing and the quality of the finished beverage.

What distinguishes Natalia’s expertise is the combination of traditional knowledge, direct experience with raw birch sap, involvement in beverage formulation and more than a decade of commercial work with birch water as a finished product.
