Our products are from the beautiful TEKOV Slovak region
We are proud that our company is part of this historically important region and that our production is located directly in Levice, in the present heart and centre of life in the Tekov region.
The territory of the Tekov region begins in the vast fertile lowlands of southern western Slovakia and ends at the foot of the Štiavnica Hills in numerous vineyards that give the region its distinctive character. The river Hron flows through the Tekov region, which largely contributes to its character.
The Tekov region is also referred to as the „ čilejkársky“ or „čilejkárskym“ due to the fact that in some areas of this region it is used a specific soft central slovak dialect.
But what is this region specifically renowed for? The Tekov region is known mainly for its traditional culture and unique traditions, which are still visible in most villages to this day. In the past, the inhabitants were mostly farmers who used excellent natural conditions for agriculture in the Hron wold and on the floodplains of the rivers Hron and Žitava. At that time, the peasants grew mainly wheat, barley, rye, oats, potatoes, corn and sugar beet. In addition to agriculture the Tekov region, was known for grapes and wine-making, especially between the town of Levice and the village of Hronský Beňadik, where there was an important wine-making area, which still exists today.
