A Legendary Taste from Antiquity

Step back in time with our Premium Greek Hydromel (Mead), known in Greece as Melitokraso—a historic honey-based alcoholic drink treasured for millennia. Our family continues this time-honoured tradition, using only the purest thyme, blossom, and heather honey blended with natural spring water.

Crafted with Expertise & Patience

Following ancient fermentation techniques, the honey and water slowly ferment in barrels for months before entering a two-year maturation process. This patience rewards you with:

  • A smooth, lingering taste that delights both seasoned connoisseurs and first-time tasters

A Drink of Gods & Legends

From the Greek Olympus to Viking Scandinavia, mead has been a drink for both gods and humans. In Monemvasia, newlyweds once enjoyed “Melitokraso” throughout their honeymoon for a sweet and prosperous marriage.

Perfect for Every Occasion

Whether served chilled as an aperitif, warmed for winter nights, or paired with cheeses, cured meats, or desserts, our mead offers a sensory journey through history in every sip.

Alcohol by Volume (ABV): ~12%
