Balkan Cheese Festival, the 18th exhibition of autochthonous cheeses of the Balkans, will be held on October 12 and 13 in the BEO Shopping Center!
We are proud of this festival, which takes place twice a year, where Mikser also had its “fingers” in starting the festival!
Visitors will be able to try rare and unusual types of more than a hundred cheeses from Serbia, the region and the whole of Europe, as well as rare and unusual types of autochthonous cheeses from small dairies and artisan producers, which cannot be found in stores and milk halls of markets.
During the duration of the festival from 10 am to 10 pm, you can enjoy pairing cheeses with top wines and delicacies, as well as cheese treats. Entrance is free, as is parking for the first two hours.
Over 200 types of cheese from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, France and Italy will be exhibited.
Interests and uniqueness:
The longest cheese board in Serbia, made of noble wood, two meters long, will be exhibited.
A special place will be occupied by the original, original Halloumi cheese from Cyprus, cheeses made by monks from the Sukovo monastery on Stara Planina, as well as cheeses from Banat, the organizer of the “Sirijada in Boka”.
