Description

Valhalla’s mead is a medium-sweet wild-fermented mead made with a mix of Ukrainian wildflower honey and Vitex honey. No brewer’s yeast is added, instead the fermentation is allowed to progress with the natural yeasts present within the ingredients. Natural yeasts may produce a wide variety of side-flavours as they ferment, resulting in a much more complex mead, with a mix of full honey aromas and side flavours from the yeast. As a “pure” mead, it can be served in many different ways, but generally we’d suggest something mild, be it sweet or savoury, that doesn’t override the complexity.

The meads from the Lancashire Mead Company are probably best described as classic meads, with sweet and straightforward flavour profiles. They also tend to have a slight winelike “funk” that no doubt stems from close proximity to more experimental wild fermentations. While usually not strongly aromatic, they sit very pleasantly on the tongue and have both a mellowness and depth that make them extremely moreish. As such they are best enjoyed alongside cheeses or desserts that can serve as a contrast or a compliment to the sweetness of the mead, while also helping to prevent an entire bottle from “accidentally” vanishing.
