Opis poti
V majhnem kraju na obrobju Kočevskega pragozda, tam kjer se skoraj vsi peljemo mimo na morje in malo prej občudujemo Hudičev turn in reko Krko, se skriva zelo uspešna zgodba destilarne in čokoladnice Berryshka. Naslednjič vam priporočamo, da se tukaj ustavite in se spoznate z njihovimi proizvodi saj bodo navdušili tako otroke kot starše.
Že leta 1950 je na tem mestu delovala destilarna, v devetdesetih pa jo je prevzela družina Kenda, ki danes ponosno stoji za imenom Berryshka. Berryshka je skovanka, ki vsebuje besedo za jagodo- v njihovem primeru ima vodilno vlogo brinova jagoda. Začetki so bili namenjeni predvsem proizvodnji eteričnih olj, ki so še danes glavni proizvod. Verjetno pa ime vsakemu pomeni nekaj drugega- mamicam zadišijo odlični likerji, očetom kakšen gin, medtem ko vsi skupaj lahko uživamo v njihovi edinstveni ponudbi pralin, lizik in čokolade. Vsi alkoholni izdelki so na mednarodnih tekmovanjih za kakovost dosegli visoka priznanja.
Ko brinovim jagodam s postopkom destilacije odvzamejo vsebnost eteričnega olja, desetilirane jagode prenesejo v fermentacijski rezervoar, kjer jim dodajo vodo in kvasovke ter pustijo, da se fermentirajo mesec dni. S kuhanjem nato pridobijo žganje. Na vodenem ogledu je eden izmed naših mladičkov vprašal, kaj naredijo z odpadkom brinovih jagod in odgovor je bil zelo zanimiv. Preostanek porabijo za ogrevanje in so tako samooskrbni ter čisto “zero-waste”, zelo super.
Za blagovno znamko Berryshka stoji tudi pet vrst likerjev: borovničev, robidov, ribezov, orehov in liker aronije. Kenda s ponosom doda, da izdelujejo tudi London gin, edini slovenski tovrstni proizvod mednarodne kakovosti.
Najkasneje se je zgodbi pridružila še gospa Zdenka, ki pa je gonilna sila čokoladne zgodbe. Vsak pralinej, vsak čokoladni kozarček je ročno izdelan in po predstavitvi smo vsi še z večjim občudovanjem in spoštovanjem okušali odlične sladice.
Na predstavitvi boste lahko spoznali postopke ročne proizvodnje eteričnih olj, si ogledali izdelavo čokoladnih izdelkov ter se seznanili s proizvodnjo alkoholnih pijač znamke Berryshka. S sprehodom po prostorih boste spoznali vse postopke, ki še vedno potekajo ročno.
Na vodene oglede se je potrebno naročiti naj pa vam prišepnemo, da na koncu sledi še degustacija v njihovi kavarnici.
Mi smo odšli zelo navdušeni nad uspešno zgodbo družine Kenda.
Interesting Facts
The first facilities began to be built in the spring of 1943, and a deep, densely overgrown karst bay near Base 20 under Daleč hill was chosen as the hospital's location. It was built of logs and covered with shingles. The first 22 wounded were admitted to the hospital on May 6, 1943, and by the end of the war, 330 wounded and sick were being treated there, 21 of whom lost their lives.
The hospital was expanded until the fall of 1944, so that the complex eventually consisted of 10 wooden buildings that are still preserved today. In the middle of the sinkhole stands the largest building, a barracks for the wounded, next to it is a kitchen and in addition to these two barracks, there are also warehouses, operating barracks and accommodation facilities, as well as a headquarters building. In addition to these facilities, the complex also has toilets , a fireplace with a bread oven and water collectors
