What we offer

EU-based distribution

All orders are fulfilled from within the European Union. This ensures faster delivery times, eliminates customs-related complications, and simplifies administration for your business. Our setup is designed to support smooth cross-border trade within the EU.

Mixed sourcing across multiple producers

One of our key advantages is the ability to combine products from different meaderies within a single order. This allows you to create a diverse and balanced offering without committing to large volumes from individual producers.

Our portfolio currently includes:

• Traditional Polish meads with well-defined style categories
• Premium meads from the United Kingdom
• Hungarian craft meads and specialty products

This flexibility enables you to tailor your selection to your target audience while maintaining operational efficiency.

Flexible ordering structure

We aim to make cooperation accessible and scalable:

• No minimum order quantities for selected partners and producers
• Low minimums where required
• The possibility to mix different products within the same case, depending on the producer

This approach allows you to test the category, optimize your assortment, and grow at your own pace.

Curated and structured portfolio

Our product range is a carefully selected portfolio built around quality, variety, and category representation.

The selection includes:

• Traditional European mead styles based on honey-to-water ratios
• Fruit meads (melomels) across multiple fruit profiles
• Spiced, herbal, and experimental meads

All products are selected based on both product quality and their role within a broader, well-balanced assortment.
