FrikaFest - for cheese lovers and more

Exhibition of cheeses from the Soca Valley




Dried meat products from the Soca Valley




Frika

Kobarid dumplings (Kobariski struklji)

The second Frikafest Festival took place over the weekend in Tolmin (Slovenia). The date of the event is not a coincidence, as it symbolises the arrival of shepherds and cattle from the high mountain pastures to the valley. During the two-day event, I had the opportunity to taste the unique cheeses from the Soča Valley, as well as cured meat products from the region. Of course, there was also Frika, a traditional shepherd's dish made with just two ingredients, potatoes and cheese. The potatoes are roasted on a pork spit, then cheese is added and baked into a deliciously crispy meal. For dessert, traditional Kobarid dumplings, filled with walnut stuffing, topped with cracklings, sage and honey. Yummy!
