Is it alcoholic?
Barely.
Kvass ferments, so there is some. Ours measures 0.5% to 0.9%. Every batch is measured before bottling, and the figure goes on the label.
Three questions, answered first
Wholesale for cafés, bakeries and market stalls within 35 km of Riga · orders to hello@kvoaza.com
How long does it keep?
Twenty-one days in the bottle, kept cold.
Kegs keep thirty days sealed and ten once tapped. It is not pasteurised, so warmth is the enemy. Keep it at 2 to 6 °C.
What is the smallest order, and do you deliver?
One keg or two crates.
We deliver on Tuesdays and Fridays within 35 km of Riga, free in the city on orders over €120.
Everything else is further down. It is less urgent.

What we make
One kvass, made the same way every week, and a short run of sodas that changes with whatever is growing. Both are lower in sugar than the lemonade in your fridge, because the yeast has eaten most of it.
- Bread kvass 20 L keg · €46 From our own dark-baked rye. In kegs, crates of returnable bottles, or a 10 L bag-in-box for market stalls.
- Year-round sodas Case of 24 · €44 Rhubarb and cardamom, or blackcurrant leaf. 0.33 L bottles, 24 to a case. A mixed case of both is €46.
- Seasonal sodas Case of 24 · €52 Birch sap in April and May. Sea buckthorn and honey from September to November. Seasonal cases need five working days' notice, like a first order.

A note from Agnese
We close from 22 December to 6 January. The starter goes into the cold room, the kegs come home, and I go to my mother's in Kuldīga and eat other people's bread for two weeks.
If you want kvass for the first week of January, tell me by 18 December.
