Team Cerana is also, most definitely, Team Environment. We take immense pride in the fact that mead is the most sustainable alcoholic beverage there is.
We take pride that a majority of our manufacturing set up is sourced locally within the state of Maharashtra, thus minimising our carbon footprint.
We source most of our produce from within the state as well. The jamuns, pomegranates and grapes are all sourced locally.
The honeys are also sourced from within the country. Lychee honey comes from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, Jamun honey from Maharashtra and adjacent states. And multifloral honey comes from Himachal and Karnataka.
We take pride in only buying our honey which is collected from what is called the “super chamber” of the bee box, at a premium cost, The super chamber is where only surplus honey is stored. Cerana’s meads are certainly not made from honey that is stolen from the bees.
The entire cooling system at the meadery is automated and optimised to minimise the consumption of electricity, thus reducing the carbon footprint.
The tanks in which the mead is fermented are all insulated to slow down the temperature loss which is energy saving.
The coolants used in the chillers are expensive as compared to alternatives that aren’t as environment friendly.
Water wastage through the RO water plant is minimised through reduction of reject water loss that comes hand in hand with any RO systems.
The effluents that are generated go through extensive treatment before getting used for gardening purposes around the meadery minimisiing water loss and maximising resource utilisation.
The fruit waste or processed pulp generated gets converted into compost and is used for gardening.

In our effort to support a sustainable practice and promote organic and environment friendly products and services we plan to collaborate with like minded lifestyle brands and help them reach a bigger market hand in hand with us.
We invite local artisans to exhibit their art and craft at the meadery. Exhibitions will range from beauty products, to fashion, to nutraceuticals, to foods, to paintings… all the while making the process fun with a few pints of our meads.
