Production process
This mead was made cold. This means that during its production, the honey was not heated above 40-45 °C, which is the normal temperature in nature to which honey is resistant. At higher temperatures, some precious components of honey can be damaged and degraded. Cold-made mead is the best choice.

The beginnings of beekeeping date back to 2007 as a hobby. Since 2013, they have managed more than 120 bee colonies. The majority of bee colonies are located in Chřibe in the Kudlovická valley and some in Babice and the surrounding area.
They produced the first mead in 2011. For a long time, we hesitated whether to start something like this. After all, we know how much work the bees have to do before they bring honey, even just for 50 liters of mead. They studied many recipes, but finally chose their own and started making mead. It was boiled mead, flavored with spices and hops. And surprisingly, the mead tasted better than the bought one. This gave the Třasons courage and they began to try other types as well.
The main breakthrough came in 2015, when they produced mead cold for the first time. This method of production entails higher demands and possible risks of failure, but if everything is managed, the resulting mead is worth it. During production using the cold method, we obtain a product of higher value, the maximum amount of valuable substances that honey contains is preserved in the mead.
They only process honey of their own production and are therefore limited in its quantity. That is why we are happy to be among the selected stores and can offer you this mead in the Mead House.
Not every year is the same, rather every year is different and so honey always has a different taste. Of course, this is also reflected in the taste of meads of individual vintages and batches. It is essentially similar to wine, which is produced naturally and thus cannot be standardized. This, of course, brings variety and the pleasure of new tastes, which will reflect the best that bees have brought from nature in a given year.
