What's the big deal about Bulgarian
food?
Besides the fact that Bulgarian food is
generally a synonym for organic food,
Bulgarian cuisine has grown out of the wealth of
local and foreign culinary traditions. As
with everything else, Bulgarians have managed
to combine in a unique way several different
styles of cooking, resulting in a blend with
its own distinct features, originality and
exceptional variety which we simply call
Bulgarian food.
How about Bulgarian
wine?
It is a universal truth that the Bulgarian
wines are one of the best wines in the
world. They are produced following often
unique technologies, many of them with
histories dating back to the ancient Thracians
times.
Bulgaria has the almost perfect
conditions for growing best quality grapes,
hence wines. Its warm Mediterranean climate,
combined with hilly terrains and good
quality soils contribute for the country to
be the second largest exporter of bottled
wine in the world, second only to France. We
want to mention, just for comparison, that
it has the same area of California, planted
with Cabernet Sauvignon, times four.
I know about a Bulgarian restaurant
that is not listed here.
Perfect! Let us know
about it. It will benefit our visitors
and your friends who also enjoy Bulgarian
food.
I own a Bulgarian store that you
don't have listed here.
Perfect! Let us know
about it. It will benefit our visitors.
Well, it will benefit you too. Again, our
service is free to everyone, including store
owners.
If your service is free for users and
owners, how do you make money?
Making money is not our goal. We want to
spread the word about good wholesome
Bulgarian food. Of course, there are some
costs associated with keeping this website
operational. This is why you see ads on some
of the pages.
I want to advertise on your site, how
do I do this?
Just let us know about
it. It's very easy.
What is rakia?
In case you haven't tried it yet, rakia is
hard liquor from the brandy family. It is
made by distillation of fermented grapes,
plums, or any other mixed fruits and is the
signature drink of Bulgaria. Its alcohol
content varies from 40% for the commercially
sold liquor, to 70-80% of pure firewater for
the home-produced rakia. |
