Dunja barik

Quince rakija, dunjevača, is one of the best-known, finest and most aromatic rakijas, and our very first rakija was a quince. That is how Akademska dunja barik came about.

It is made only from carefully chosen Leskovac quinces from the slopes of Fruška gora, with nothing artificial to spoil the true taste and scent of the fruit. Quinces hold little sugar, so they stay on the tree until fully ripe, and are picked by hand. Unlike a standard quince rakija, kept in inert vessels, Dunja barik rests in oak casks, which give it a special aroma and a beautiful yellow colour.
