A gently sparkling drink made from the best types of Slovak flower honey. The bright color and playful bubbles will enchant you with a perfectly fresh taste experience at the first sip.
It is produced using the unique technology of extracting natural carbon dioxide containing aromatic esters, which is produced during the fermentation of our meads.
Why environment-friendly?
During production, a unique system of carbon dioxide CO2 capture technology, created during the production of mead, is used. In this way, we can significantly lighten the carbon footprint on the environment in the conditions of our company. The captured gas comes from the alcoholic fermentation of the mead and is therefore of purely natural origin. Due to its natural origin, aroma and delicious taste, such gaseous CO2 has a much higher quality and ecological value than ordinary food-grade CO2, produced as an intermediate product from petroleum and ammonia.
mead
Mead is an alcoholic beverage fermented from honey and water, with possibility of addition of other ingredients such as spices or herbs or in combination with fruit juices.
Frizzante mead
Frizzante mead is a classical mead with addition of CO2. It is not traditional sparkling mead because of no secondary fermentation.
Production process
This mead was boiled before fermentation. The thermal process has certain technological advantages, however, some valuable components of honey are damaged, especially during prolonged boiling. You will not recognize the production process in taste, but it is typical for boiled mead that they are more golden in color because honey partially caramelize at high temperatures.
Producer Apimed
Apimed is one of the largest meaderies in Slovakia. Their meads have won numerous global awards, including the "Best mead in the world" in 2015.
The company APIMED was founded in 1998. However, the beginnings of beekeeping activities date back to 1982. In addition to its own production of honey and bee products, the company has built up an extensive supply network of beekeepers throughout Slovakia from the most ecologically clean areas. Due to the production of over 300,000 liters of mead per year, the own beehives cannot cover production needs. Each purchased batch of honey is laboratory tested at the ŠVaPÚ in Dolní Kubín and then classified according to type and included in production.
In 2015 and 2023, Medovina akatová barrique won the award Best mead in the world.
Meads are produced using heat, they are boiled.
