Together in life and business ventures

Together for 20 years, Casey and Angel are a husband and wife team that partners in all aspects of Angelove Estate. Their individual strengths complement each other well. Casey is creative and passionate, while Angel is logical and pragmatic.

Casey Angelova is a native New Yorker living in Bulgaria since 2006. Her relocation to Kyustendil helped her to discover her love of food, wine, spirits and agriculture through her website: Eating, Gardening and Living, which she started in 2008. This new adventure led her to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park in 2011. The gastronomic journey in New York was the inspiration to try truffle farming, craft distilling and soap making in Bulgaria.

Angel Angelov is originally from Kyustendil. He became a hobby farmer in 2008, when he purchased a hectare of cherry orchard in Konyavo. In 2014, he decided to try making Rakia from cherries rather than selling them. The results were good for a novice and this sparked the idea to start a distillery and perfect the art of cherry Rakia.

Unique Experience - Must do while in Bulgaria!
Don’t question it - Just book it ! Fresh truffles, great wine, new exciting friends, tons of new and unexpected information and breathtaking views of the Osogovo mountain and the nearby plentiful valleys - an experience to remember and often, go back to !!! Highly recommend this truffle hunt to anyone would want to get very insightful knowledge about truffles growing, “picking” and cooking. Angel and Casey generously share their experience and you can’t do anything but be grateful and amazed by the hard work they’ve done for the entire area around the truffle ground (preserving the microclimate / even working on improving the biodiversity etc). We started off at the “truffle garden”, the visited Angelove’s green’s garden in the village and then went to the best restaurant in Kyustendil - “Ramira” where Chef Jivko prepared the truffles which we got in the morning. All that, in the company of some really lovely people! Thanks heaps Casey & Angel ! We’ll surely return for more next year. Continue Reading

Great Soap! I have used the soap for several months. Having psoriasis and needing to use a natural, organic soap, I was eager to try it! It helps with my dry skin tremendously. It’s also very soapy. Lathers up nicely with a good amount of suds that helps with dry skin removal for my psoriasis. Continue Reading
