A craft syrup maker; the syrups are made in Tapolca. Not a shop or venue: sold online, at fairs and through partners in the Uplands and on the shore.
Story
Péter Hajsz is a wine expert who worked over ten years in wine trade and teaching. After tasting a homemade syrup in a country restaurant he began experimenting and launched CsupaSzörp in 2014. The first lavender batch was cooked in a neighbour’s 20-litre pot; the elderflower recipe comes from his wife Zsófi’s grandmother. Zsófi, a graphic designer, does the packaging. They are converting an old stone farmhouse near Tapolca into a small workshop.

The person behind the place
From wine to syrup
Péter Hajsz worked as a wine expert; syrup started as a hobby alongside wine and has since taken over. His wife Zsófi, a graphic designer, designs the bottles; the elderflower recipe is her grandmother's.
