OUR STORY
Grandpa Spase was a man who had traveled the whole world. However, the echo of his homeland made him return to his native region, specifically Draslajca, a beautiful village near Lake Ohrid. His adventures were the reason the whole village gathered in his yard, listening intently to his stories about the five continents late into the night. Oh, what stories he could weave…
In the small but perfectly maintained garden of Grandpa Spase, there were various kinds of trees. Yet, his favorite were the five hazelnut trees that he cared for with special love, and he often skillfully used the characteristics of the hazelnut as a metaphor in his stories… Grandpa Spase used to say that the hazelnut gave him strength, energy, and also protected his Mind, that’s why he could tell stories late into the night and work full of energy during the day. About the hazelnuts, he said he ate them FOR-THE-MIND (ZA-UM). Thus, in the family remained the story – FOR-THE-MIND (ZA-UM). A story that is passed down from generation to generation and has lasted for more than 150 years.
OWN STORY -> TRUE STORY
Grandpa Spase has long been gone from this world. However, his hazelnut garden continues to live on. Today, at the same place, at 700 meters above sea level, in a pure ecological environment, nourished by the energy of the Struga sun, the most beautiful hazelnuts in Macedonia are grown. They are cared for by the great-grandson of Grandpa Spase. Each small fruit of these hazelnut trees is packed with a wealth of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Bosko decided to share the hazelnuts with the world just as, many years ago, his great-grandfather selflessly shared his stories. For this purpose, he created the brand ZAUM. The organic nuts grown in Draslajca are the main ingredient of every ZAUM product.
And the hazelnut has its own story, a true story. It is a superfood. It is said that regular consumption of hazelnuts can extend life expectancy by 20 percent. However, what is most fascinating is its role as food for the mind. And that is precisely where ZAUM comes from.
