Buckwheat mead with amazing properties
"Honey, which bees make from the nectar of buckwheat flowers, I like for its exceptional properties. Therefore, I tried to load mead from it, which pleasantly surprised me as a result. The mead has taken over the typical strong aroma and interesting taste tones from the buckwheat honey, which can appeal even to those who do not need much buckwheat. ”

Above all, the mead is wonderfully soft - so much that it will caress your tongue. Compared to our other mead, it has a completely original and specific taste and aroma, especially thanks to buckwheat honey. If you do not like a strong buckwheat aroma, it is possible that this mead will pleasantly surprise you anyway. You can clearly recognize buckwheat in its heavy aroma, but in softer shades and with a touch of bad luck. Buckwheat mead is a great way to indulge in the amazing properties of buckwheat honey and still enjoy it.

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.
Producer Pleva
Pleva's beekeeping company includes an assortment of not only mead, but also other bee products and cosmetics. Mead is cold-produced.
The production plant of the Pleva beekeeping company includes an assortment of not only mead, but also other bee products and cosmetics. Mead is made cold.
The Pleva family business is located in the spa town of Potštejn in the picturesque foothills of the Eagle Mountains. It specializes in the processing of medicinal bee products (honey, royal jelly, pollen, propolis and bee venom) into cosmetics and food supplements. However, the most interesting thing for us is the production of meads, in which the people of Plevo specialize in single-species meads.
They have been raising bees since 1969 and processing bee products since 1990. However, they only started producing mead around 2003, initially in smaller quantities. From the beginning, they wanted to follow a honey-friendly path and also had the goal of offering something new, unique, which is missing on the market. They officially started offering mead only in 2008. The first mead was herbal and distinctly bitter, they also produced several honey liqueurs with nut and herbal variants. In the end, however, they focused on a quite unique but most interesting category of meads, which consists of meads made from one type of honey. The current offer includes acacia, linden, sunflower and forest honey meads, which are real delicacies and are popular for their distinct aroma and taste of original honey. Potštejn mead is fermented from classic flower honey.
The maturation period of meads is at least 1 year, but some meads have been refining their flavor for 5 years.
We at the Mead Museum from Plevů also buy some types of honey cosmetics.
