achové

Achovy is a traditional Czech confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, honey, and poppy seeds. The name "achovy" is derived from the Czech word "ach", which refers to poppy seeds. The confectionery is typically shaped into small, round balls or cylinders, and is often coated in a thin layer of sugar or honey to give it a glossy finish. Achovy is a popular treat in Czech cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. It is also a common ingredient in various traditional Czech dishes, such as koláče (cakes) and kouřovky (smoked pastries). The production of achovy involves a process of heating and mixing the ingredients, followed by shaping and coating the confectionery. The result is a sweet, crunchy treat with a slightly nutty flavor. Achovy is a staple in Czech households and is often given as a gift during the Christmas season.
