There are flavors that tell stories—stories about the land, about people, about time, and about patience. We invite you to a special gourmet experience dedicated to the most intriguing Bulgarian artisanal cheeses and their pairing with select Bulgarian wines.
Amid the cozy atmosphere of “The Enchanted Forest” in the Plovdiv village of Vinitsa, under the shade of the trees and far from the noise of the city, you’ll immerse yourself in a world of aromas, textures, and flavors, created with respect for tradition and a love of good food.
You’ll sample a selection of up to four seasonal terroir cheeses, including:
• sheep’s milk cheese aged in olive oil and aromatic herbs—rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, hot pepper, and mixed peppers;
• cow’s milk cheese, aged in a clay pot—an ancient technique that imparts a unique softness and rich flavor;
• cheese aged in a clay jar, sealed according to an old Bulgarian custom;
• Kashkaval, aged in Strandzha manna honey—a true gourmet treat with sweet-and-salty nuances;
• Kashkaval, aged in red wine, which gives it a noble aroma and a velvety aftertaste;
• and other surprises inspired by the season and the craftsmanship of Bulgarian cheesemakers.
Eech cheese will be presented along with its story—where it comes from, how it’s made, and why its flavor is so unique. You’ll learn how the terroir—the land, climate, and traditions—leaves its mark on every cheese, just as it does with wine.
The tasting includes three carefully selected Bulgarian wines, paired to highlight the distinctive flavors and aromas of the cheeses. You’ll discover just how magical the pairing can be between a well-aged cheese and a glass of wine, both crafted on the same land.
This experience is designed for lovers of good food, wine connoisseurs, and anyone who wants to discover Bulgaria through its authentic flavors.
