The plum orchards and distillery of Čedomir Đurđević family, producers of “ČEDINA RAKIJA,” are located on the northwest side of Valjevo, on a sunlit hillside at an altitude of 250-300 m. As we villagers would say, it’s ideal for plums. Our tradition of cultivating plums and producing rakija dates back to the early 19th century, as evidenced by Turkish tax records showing that my great-great… grandmother Marija paid taxes on the rakija still back in 1833. This confirms that rakija production was serious and that this tradition has not been interrupted to this day.
