FOUR FOOD FINDS

AJDOVI ŽGANCI

Buckwheat is a traditional part of Slovenian rural life, and this dense, nutty-tasting porridge made from it is perfect warming winter fare.

POTICA

Look out for this type of nut roll, which can be made from a variety of sweet or savoury fillings, including walnut, tarragon,

chocolate or leek.

HONEY

Beekeeping has long been part of Slovenian culture and honey is widely used as a sweetener in desserts such as medenjaki (ginger

biscuits) and potica.

PODRAVJE WHITE WINE

The north-eastern Podravje region

produces whites of exceptional quality (and value) — the Sauvignon Blancs and Rieslings are both

reliable options.
