Small family beekeeping and mead farming from Kudlovice near Uherské Hradiště. Honey production from own hives in Chřiby.
The beginnings of beekeeping date back to 2007 as a hobby. Since 2013, they have managed more than 120 hives. Most of the hives are located in Chřiby in the Kudlovická valley and some in Babice and its surroundings.
The first mead was made in 2011. For a long time, we hesitated whether to embark on something like this. After all, we only know how much work the bees will give before they bring honey, even if only for 50 liters of mead. They studied a lot of recipes, but in the end they chose their own and started making mead. It was mead cooked, flavored with spices and hops. And strangely, the mead tasted better than the one bought. This gave the Třasoňs courage and they started trying other species as well.
The main turning point came in 2015, when they first produced mead in a cold way. This method of production carries higher demands and possible risks of failure, but if everything is managed, the resulting mead is worth it. During cold production, we obtain a product of higher value, the mead preserves the maximum of valuable substances that honeys contain.
They process only honey of their own production and are therefore limited by its quantity. That is why we are glad that we are among the selected stores and we can also offer you this mead in the Medovinárna.
Not every year is the same, rather everyone is different and so honey always has a different taste. This is, of course, reflected in the taste of the mead of individual vintages and batches. It is basically similar to wine, which is produced in a natural way and so cannot be standardized. However, this brings variety and pleasure from new tastes, which will reflect the best that bees have brought from nature in a given year.
Special mead is made from a mixture of different types of honey and honeycombs containing pollen and propolis, aged in an oak barrel.
