… delicious Bulgarian banitsa, or mlyn, which many educated European travelers delightedly ate in Bulgaria and introduced to the world,” Georgi Rakovsky, newspaper “Pointer,” 1859.
A long time has passed since that moment when the pie impressed travelers visiting our lands, even from the educated world. To this day, it remains an integral part of Bulgarian folklore and continues to hold a central place on Bulgarian tables. For us, Bulgarians—wherever we are in the world—just the mention of the phrase “traditional Bulgarian dish” immediately conjures up the image of one particular dish: banitsa! And not just any banitsa, but homemade, freshly baked, fluffy, and juicy—our Bulgarian banitsa. Over time, it has gradually lost its association with festive rituals and has become a natural element of our daily diet. Moreover, we can confidently say that it is one of the most recognizable symbols of Bulgarian national cuisine.
We do not claim to be pioneers in this endeavor, but it is an honor and privilege for us to carry on the centuries-old Bulgarian traditions in gastronomy. However, times are changing, and taste preferences are evolving worldwide. Our goal is to establish Bulgarian banitsa as an ambassador of Bulgaria, representing the best of our diverse cuisine. That is why we only use standardized natural products and invest in technologies that allow us to expand our variety and guarantee consistent quality for each of our products.
