Dovgan Birkensaft (Birch Sap)

Dovgan Birkensaft is a traditional birch sap beverage popular in Eastern European cuisine. The brand Dovgan was founded in Germany by Vladimir Dovgan in the late 1990s and has since become one of the most prominent brands for Eastern European and Slavic food specialties in Western Europe.

While the brand is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, under Dovgan GmbH, the birch sap itself is primarily harvested and bottled in Ukraine or Belarus, where birch forests are abundant and harvesting traditions are deeply rooted. Dovgan acts as a bridge, bringing authentic regional products to the international market under a unified, high-quality brand identity. Currently, Dovgan GmbH is the ultimate owner and operator of the brand, specializing in the distribution of ethnic foods across the European supermarket landscape.
