Eternal Mead is an imaginative tribute to the kind of mead a völva—a Norse seeress—might have brewed in ancient times. Eternal, because it never truly ends. Each new batch is infused with a portion of the previous one, constantly revived with water, honey, herbs, shoots, and fruits.
It has a pronounced sweetness—true to the DNA of Mjødgård. Unripe gooseberries bring a crisp acidity, while apples add a natural fruity sweetness. A wide variety of wild herbs, such as hawthorn, yarrow, spruce shoots, and fresh young berry bush shoots, contribute to a complex, spiced character. The experience is rounded off by the subtle bitterness of walnuts.
At the table, it pairs beautifully with salads, fish, and meat. It also complements less sweet desserts and baked goods. It’s an excellent match for aged cheeses like Comté, Prästost, Vesterhavsost, or cheddar, and pairs well with fruits such as melon, dates, or caramelized figs.
Serve slightly chilled, at 8–10 °C.
