General Questions
Hesperium is the Greek word for a citrus fruit - but that is a mouthful for sure, so we shortened it to Hesper. Plus, Hesper means the first evening star, hence the twinkle in our logo. And lastly, the ancient Greeks used to call Italy Hesperia as that is where they saw the first evening star arise.
To us - Hesper is the perfect blend of our company values and brings it full circle on name, tradition, history, quality and purpose.
We offer 4 options of Limoncello inspired spirits:
Limone (Lemon)
Limone Low-Carb
Pompelmo (Grapefruit)
Pompelmo Low-Carb
You might be wondering why we feature so many different products and plan to grow to even more… Our spa products reuse the peels aka zest from the spirit making process and are the first step into our focus on changing and evolving the beverage and beauty industry to be more sustainable. Our line of products expands to include a true focus on sustainability as much as possible – and reframing what it means to be a business today and our role and commitment to caring not only for the people on our planet, but the planet itself.
Our spa product collection makes for a luxurious spa day at home or is perfect as an extra special gift.
Available today are our Limone (Lemon) and Pompelmo (Grapefruit) Salt Scrubs, which are a coarsely ground scrub to exfoliate and hydrate. Ingredients: lemon or grapefruit peel, water, organic coconut oil & white sea salt.
