Tucked away in the hamlet fittingly named Rakija, at the foot of the Gledić Mountains, this small family-run distillery embodies authenticity and deep respect for tradition. For generations, the Đusić family has passed down the art of making true plum rakija, relying on native Serbian varieties like Crvena ranka and Požegača, grown on their own land with patience, purity, and a strong bond with nature. "Rakija iz Rakije" is more than just a name—it’s a way of life, where each drop carries the essence of the land, time, and hands that shaped it.
This rakija has earned recognition far beyond Serbia’s borders: it is part of the international Slow Food movement, and their Crvena ranka has been listed among the 500 most authentic products in the world. In every sip, you can taste the silence of the countryside, the ripeness of the fruit, and the warmth of true hospitality. Rakija iz Rakije is not mass-produced, not rushed—it is honest, timeless, and crafted for those who recognize true value in simplicity.
