We produce 100% natural juice from Prespa apples

When one mentions Prespa, the first thought is often its famous apples. At Kajak.mk, we believe that the village of Carev Dvor is the heart of quality apple production. This belief is affirmed by the story of Nikola Dzjakov, a man dedicated to crafting 100% natural apple juice from Prespa’s renowned apples.

Prespa’s apples have been the subject of many tales, including Ana’s story about the "Spirit of Prespa," a destination now popular among international tourists. However, this narrative takes a unique turn. For the first time, we introduce a Macedonian producer whose passion has culminated in creating pure apple juice.


If you ask us about the taste, we assure you that such a juice is a rare find. Ideal for both children and adults, it contains no added sugars, preservatives, or water—just the essence of apples.

Before explaining how you can order this exquisite juice, let us share Nikola Dzjakov's inspiring journey. An electrical engineer by profession, Nikola’s deep connection to his family’s orchards transformed a mere hobby into his primary occupation.

Speaking to Kajak.mk, Nikola recalls growing up in the orchards, learning the trade from his father, grandfather, and close family friends. Over the years, he inherited their knowledge, enabling him to take over the cultivation of apples entirely.

Every craft comes with its joys and challenges. While apple farming can be a fulfilling passion, it’s not without stress—particularly concerning the fluctuating and often unprofitable market prices for fresh apples. This challenge inspired Nikola to embark on a new chapter by creating natural apple juice under the brand "Carev Dvor Juice."

Last year, Nikola began producing and testing the juice, focusing on shelf life and quality. This year, the product entered the market. Today, the "Homemade Pressed Apple Juice" from Carev Dvor boasts a full production chain. Nikola notes that while selling fresh apples is simpler and less demanding, producing juice requires strict hygiene standards, meticulous oversight, and an unwavering commitment to natural methods—no chemicals or sprays allowed.

Currently, half of Nikola’s orchard is dedicated to juice production, with the other half reserved for standard apple sales. His wife and two sons actively support the endeavor. This year, the juice has already been showcased at two food fairs in Macedonia, with plans for broader availability at future events.
