Local Cuisine of Krushevo

Krusev Cuisine

The traditional Krushevo cuisine combines Balkan and Mediterranean characteristics, inherited largely from Turkish tastes that prevailed during long centuries of Ottoman rule. Travelers are delighted by the taste of local tomatoes, carrots, lettuces, parsley, onions, and garlic - not to mention the rich flavor and aroma of fresh fruit, such as watermelons, melons, cherries, apricots, grapes, peaches, and others. Most herbs are collected in the local mountains and in the countryside, and are renowned for their taste, scent and healing properties.

We’ve talked a lot already about history, culture and architecture in Krusevo, so we think that now is the perfect time to talk about traditional food here. When you travel around Macedonia you should have one thing in mind: everywhere in this country you can find really tasty food. The same is true about Krusevo. Starting with melted cheese in a pot to Krusevska pita (pastry with cheese, spinach or cabbage) and Krusevsko grne ( different kind of cheese mixed with mushrooms, ham and egg, baked in a pot) you can find a wealth of delicious options.
