Check out these 10 must-try Slovenian foods and drinks that recall the history of its neighbors and its landscapes. Slovenian craft beer. If you’re eating Slovenian food, you’ll want to accompany it with Slovenian beer (pivo). Slovenian beer is in the midst of a renaissance. Although mass-produced domestic brands like Lasko and Union still dominate the market, new microbreweries are continually popping up and pumping out a range of quality Slovenian craft beers. Carniolan Sausage. For its size, Slovenia packs a mighty punch on the gastronomy scene: there are 23 gastronomic regions and 170 distinct dishes claimed by this small central European country. Slovenian wine. Slovenia has been growing grapes and producing wine for thousands of years. The country has over 28,000 vineyards and produces between 80 and 90 million litres of wine every year. Gibanica. Gibanica is a layered cake filled with poppy seeds, walnuts, apples, raisins, and ricotta. It’s probably the most popular sweet in Slovenia and is typically eaten for breakfast. The cake originally hails from the Prekmurje region in the country’s far northeast (bordering Hungary), but you’ll find it all over the country. Slovenian Spirits. While Slovenians love beer and wine, there’s really only one national drink: schnapps. Called zganje in the local lingo, making the stuff is also a national past-time, and although you can buy factory-made bottles of schnapps in liquor stores and supermarkets, it’s the locally made zganje brewed in someone’s garage that’s usually the best. Thankfully, you don’t have to know anyone to sample some of the finest schnapps in Slovenia, because you can count on all self-respecting bars across the country to stock some of the best local varieties in a wide variety of flavors, including pear, peach, lemon, and blueberry. Grilled Trout. Home to many beautiful lakes and countless rivers and mountain streams, Slovenia is a country where fish is often found on menus. The ultimate fish to try in Slovenia is river trout. After a day of outdoor fun, make sure to order a whole grilled trout with some mashed potatoes on the side. If you’re going to have any traditional Slovenian food, let it be grilled trout. Veal Stew with Lard and Buckwheat Mush. As a historically rural country with a significant agricultural background, Slovenia loves its stews. There are many different types of stews, their ingredients ranging from vegetables to all types of meats and even actual intestines. This fantastic veal stew with lard and the typical complementary buckwheat mush before heading out for a hike in the Julian Alps in Triglav National Park. Cheese Dumplings. Another typical Slovenian food is cheese dumplings. These dumplings contain cottage cheese and are sometimes sprinkled with a little bit of sugar to give it a somewhat sweet taste. Served with sour cream, this is another hearty Slovenian dish—excellent to fill your stomach after an active day of sightseeing. Steak with Truffles. Truffles are a much-used ingredient in Istria, the coastal region that extends between Slovenia and northern Croatia. This quaint region is home to extensive old oak forests, which happen to be the perfect habitat for truffles. As it is rather difficult to find good truffles—dogs are specifically trained to find truffles that are buried deep in between the oaks’ roots—they tend to be quite pricey. It’s absolutely worth splurging on a dish that contains truffles, though. They taste, unlike any other mushroom that you’ve ever tasted. Slovenian Doughnuts: Krofi. Every culture seems to have its own fried dough and of course, we want to try them all. Krofi are special because they come with a beautiful, bright hint of citrus, thanks to lemon zest. Try krofi that has a layer of apricot jam inside- a favorite Slovenian flavor. Make sure to subscribe to find out all the best things to do in your favorite city.
