Blueberries from the Krkonoše Mountains and our blueberry liqueur
Blueberries belong to the Krkonoše Mountains just like mountain meadows and forests where their dark fruits ripen every summer. From these berries we produce our blueberry liqueur, which has received the regional designation KRKONOŠE – originální produkt®.
This label confirms the product’s true origin in the Krkonoše region, its connection to local traditions, and compliance with quality and environmental standards. In every glass you will find not only the taste of blueberries, but also a piece of the Krkonoše landscape and honest local craftsmanship.
Wild Blueberry
(Vaccinium myrtillus)
Blueberries – small dark blue berries – are known to almost everyone, whether picked in the forest or used in traditional dishes such as jams, dumplings or cakes. Here we refer to the fruit of Vaccinium myrtillus L.
We have nothing against so-called “Canadian blueberries”, but they do not match the aroma or natural benefits of wild forest blueberries.
This plant is widespread across Europe, northern Asia and North America. In the Czech Republic it grows mainly in higher mountain areas, in light forests, forest edges and peat bogs.
The shrubs grow up to 50 cm tall, with small pink-green flowers and dark blue berries with purple-red flesh.
Beneficial effects of blueberries on the human organism
Blueberries are not only plants with delicious fruits, but also offer many beneficial effects for human health and are considered among the most valuable types of fruit. These healing properties have been known for many centuries. In modern terms, they are naturally “organic”.
Blueberries are a rich source of vitamin C.
The fruits contain tannins, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, provitamin A, resveratrol, vitamin C, B vitamins, natural fruit sugars, small amounts of fats, and micro- and macroelements (magnesium, potassium, manganese). All of these substances have a significant positive impact on various human health issues or help protect against them. They mainly support metabolism, eyesight, the nervous and cardiovascular systems, and are associated with anti-cancer effects, positive influence on ageing, and maintaining overall balance in the body.
Various scientific studies are currently ongoing regarding the benefits of blueberry consumption and the bioactive compounds they contain.
Of course, the greatest amount of beneficial substances is supplied to our body by consuming fresh blueberries, and they are at their very best when eaten straight from the bush. However, not everyone has the opportunity to enjoy them this way, and there is also the limitation of the short season. That is why we offer at least some of these beneficial compounds in our product.
Every glass of our blueberry liqueur hides the honest taste of Krkonoše blueberries and the local mountain nature.
Thanks to the regional label KRKONOŠE – originální produkt®, you know you are tasting a true treasure of the Krkonoše Mountains, crafted with care and respect for tradition.
Krkonoše blueberry simply puts you in a good mood and gently soothes your body.
DRINK HEALTHILY AND WITH COMMON SENSE!!!
