Description
Begin your tasting tour with burek, a phyllo pastry, at a family-owned bakery operating for 80 years. Then sample ajvar, a pepper spread known as vegetable caviar, prepared following a generational family recipe.
Next, taste kaymak, a dairy spread made from cow milk and salt, alongside fresh cheese made from goat milk within 24 hours. Continue with čvarci, pork cracklings that combine crunch and melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Conclude the tasting with two distinct desserts: traditional Serbian žito (kolyevo), made of wheat and walnuts with Orthodox religious significance, and an oriental pastry introduced during Ottoman times 500 years ago. These are sampled at a stall run by a third-generation producer who will share how these culinary traditions arrived and remain in Belgrade.
