Connecting with History
What is Mead and Where Does It Come From?
This unique elixir traces its origins back to prehistory, where the accidental mixture of honey and fermented water gave rise to one of the earliest alcoholic beverages known to humanity.
In ancient Egypt, mead was considered a sacred beverage, associated with fertility and religious celebrations.
The Vikings and Nordic cultures also embraced mead, viewing it as an inspiring and valorous drink linked to their mythologies and traditions. In ancient Rome, the Romans adopted the mead tradition from Celtic and Germanic cultures. Known as “mulsum,” it was an exquisite blend of honey and wine, appreciated for its sweet and aromatic flavor.
The Romans regarded it as a luxurious and sophisticated choice for their festivities and banquets. During medieval Europe, mead became a luxury drink enjoyed by both nobility and commoners.
Throughout history, even as it declined with the arrival of other alcoholic beverages, its essence endured through the centuries.
Today, this ancient beverage has seen an exciting resurgence thanks to “cellars” like ours and fermentation enthusiasts who explore different varieties and flavors, keeping the tradition of mead alive.
We aim to continue this legacy by reviving a forgotten ancient drink and adapting it to our times.”
