Goldings have been grown in England for over 100 years and, as with Fuggles, were named after the grower who developed them. The variety includes clones that differ in maturity and it is therefore possible to spread picking over the whole of the harvest period. Thes clones include Early Bird, Cobbs, Eastwell, Canterbury Whitebine, and Mathon.

A traditional English aroma variety highly valued for its smooth, sweet, delicate, slightly spicy aroma. THE finishing hop for British Bitters, Pale Ales and IPA’s.

Golding is a moderate to high yielding aroma variety that is grown in Herefordshire and Worcestershire and East Kent, both areas are under pressure from wilt infection to which Golding is particularly susceptible. The acreage has increased over the last few years due to demand for this variety. It is susceptible to Downy and Powdery Mildew and particularly sensitive to Verticillium Wilt.

We weigh all hops only when there is an order for them none have been sitting of shelves, they are taken out from a bulk vacuum sealed bag in cold storage at the time we complete your order. Our hop pellets are packaged inside UV protected polyethylene bags and vacuum sealed.

Sometimes the vacuum seal can degrade especially if hop dust settles alongside where the bag is heat sealed. If you receive the hops and it appears that the vacuum is breaking down, the hops will still be perfectly safe to use with no degradation of flavour.If you do not intend to use then in a few days of receiving, we suggest that you store them in a fridge or freezer. Hop pellets stored near-freezing, preferably between -1C and 5C. Under these conditions, T-90 hop pellets will remain stable in closed containers for three (3) years.
