The Gudelj Family: Herzegovinian Treasures Bottled and Jarred
Have you heard of the Gudelj family from Trebinje? If not, get ready to be amazed! This family is not only known for their top athletes but also for producing and selling homemade juices, jams, liqueurs, and sweets that are true Herzegovinian magic.
Natural products conquering the world
In the heart of Herzegovina, in Trebinje, the Gudeljs use the natural riches of the region to create products of the highest quality. Their range includes rose syrup, sour cherry, wild pomegranate juices, grape, elderflower, cherry, kiwi, plum liqueurs, as well as apricot, sour cherry, and cherry jams. All 100% natural and affordably priced.
Interestingly, their products are so popular that both locals and foreign tourists buy them, often taking them as souvenirs from Herzegovina. Now, besides Trebinje, their products are available in Belgrade and even online!
A family that hasn’t forgotten its roots
Although the Gudeljs now live in Spain, they haven’t forgotten their homeland. They regularly visit Trebinje whenever their schedule allows. Recently, Nemanja and Anastasija spent a few days in town, strolling the center and enjoying the hospitality. People recognize them, greet them, and take photos — true local celebrities!
In honor of their father, Nebojša Gudelj, a former Partizan footballer, a mural was painted in Trebinje. He was a pride of the city, scoring 15 goals for Partizan and never forgetting his Herzegovinian roots and Orthodox faith.
Why does this matter?
In a world where more and more products are factory-made and natural becomes a luxury, the Gudelj family shows how tradition, nature, and entrepreneurship can successfully blend. Their products are not just food — they are part of the culture, identity, and pride of Herzegovina.
If you ever find yourself in Trebinje, be sure to stop by a healthy food store and try these magical flavors. And if not, no worries — online shopping is here to save you from boring, bland food.
