You'll love the golden glow and sweet honey taste of this award-winning medovina (mead). For decades, Slovak families have celebrated special occasions with a medovina toast. You might recognise this delicious drink from Christmas markets or visits to mainland Europe.
Mead is the original alcoholic drink, made of fermented honey and water mixed with herbs and spices. Think of it like wine that's made from honey instead of grapes. With its unrivalled pedigree, mead is increasingly popular worldwide and is today considered a healthy elixir.
Trnavska medovina is made from a traditional recipe blended with sophisticated production technology. The result is the world's only mead that has won gold at both the world's biggest competitions – Apimondia (global) and Mazer Cup (US). Customers have been enjoying this delicious mead since 1998.

What is mead
Mead is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from honey – wine of honey. It is a natural beverage with sweet taste and soft honey bouquet, produced by the fermentation of honey solution with wine yeasts. Mead made by traditional technology contains mostly 12–14% alcohol.
History
Mead has always been considered a source of life, wisdom, courage and strength. It is regarded as the Slavic drink properly — old Slavs drank mead at significant gender and tribal celebrations, from what we can conclude the drink had a special and solemn character. Mead is considered the oldest beverage in the world.
Health
Mead combines the healing effects and unique flavour of used honey, herbs and spices. Honey found in such abundance in the mead has beneficial effects on the digestive system and the cardiovascular system; the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of honey are important too, particularly for inflammations of the throat and upper respiratory tract.
