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.

Metheglin

Metheglin is a type of mead with added (maturated) spices and herbs.

Type of honey

Blossom honey or nectar comes from the nectar of various flowers.

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 Zahradka u Tomiku

Under the Strážiště hill between Želivka and Blaník, the Machold family is a beekeeping and meadery, as well as producer of other unique bee products

Beneath the Strážiště hill between Želivka and Blaník, the Machold family are beekeepers and are dedicated to the production of mead, but also other unique bee products and not only those.

The first mead was made by the Macholds even before they had their own bees. They were enchanted by the Slovak mead and wanted to try producing something similar. In the village, they took honey from a local beekeeper and the first batches of mead were successful. The decision to start beekeeping was made only in 2006, and since then they have made great progress.

In addition to mead, they also produce medutel, which is a healthy variant of the infamous Nutella. In addition to these honey products, they also offer homemade syrups or roasted teas.

The mead from Tomík is strongly fermented, but still very sweet.
