Slovenians are richer for the new spirit called Slovenia Vodka. Made from selected Slovenian raw materials and enriched with the knowledge and long-standing tradition of distilling spirits in Fructal, it received important awards from the profession and consumers in the USA.
The specialty of vodka is its refined softness, which is given to the product by a pinch of the best Slovenian buckwheat, and the purity of the water from Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Fructal in collaboration with partners, created a premium vodka, ultra-premium class, intended for the global market.
The idea of buckwheat vodka was given to Fructal by a renowned Slovenian ethnologist prof. dr. Janez Bogataj, who said on this occasion: Buckwheat has been present in Slovenia since at least the 15th century, when the first records of it appear. People accepted it very quickly and it became the most popular food for the preparation of various dishes, perhaps even more so than the potato at the end of the 18th and in the 19th century. Buckwheat has made an important mark on the culinary and gastronomic culture of Slovenia, namely as buckwheat flour, buckwheat porridge and as a common ingredient in bread mixes. A kind of illustration of the popularity of buckwheat is also evidenced by the motif of the buckwheat grain in the ornamentation or decoration of especially wooden and stone building elements and the interior decoration of residences. SLOVENIA VODKA® is a global product that is produced in Slovenia, and it is thanks to buckwheat that we give this product the characteristic of being special, different and recognizable, which is also connected in this natural way to one of the key components of our gastronomic heritage. That's why I'm glad that Fructal and Good Voda listened to me and decided on this special buckwheat vodka in the world."
