Visiting our partners around Bela krajina


On Wednesday 27th of June we spent an awesome day visiting four of our local BIG BERRY partners around Bela krajina. We had Max and Oksana from Drink Tea & Travel visiting us, so we took the BB mini car and headed to Metlika to visit the first partner.

Our first stop was at our dear partner Domače Dobrote Mojca, where we learned everything about the traditional bread from Bela Krajina, pogača. When we arrived at Mojca’s, the first thing we all noticed was the delicious smell of fresh baked bread. It was a great welcoming! Mojca’s bakery has an over 20-year-old history of making pogača and we all watched excited as she showed us how to make it from preparing the dough to taking the burning hot bread out of the oven.

After Mojca, we headed out to Oljarna Pečarič in the middle of Metlika’s vineyards for some oil tasting. Pečarič produces cold-pressed oils from many kinds of nuts and seeds such as walnut, pumpkin, hazelnut, apricot and hemp, and we got to taste over 20 of them! We brought with us some pogača from Mojca and dipped it in to the oils tasting so many different flavors. We were all overwhelmed to hear about the many health benefits all these oils have, they can fix any illness!

For lunch we drove to Črnomelj to our third partner of the day, Gostilna Müller. Gostilna Müller has been open since 1965 and it offers a variety of delicious local dishes and wines. As it was a beautiful sunny day, we sat down outside at the terrace next to a forest view and the river Lahinja. It was a perfect place to sit down and enjoy a peaceful lunch!

Last but not least, before heading home, we dropped by at Tik-Tak Café to have some of their homemade, 100% natural ice cream for dessert. Tik-Tak Café offers over 70 different flavors of ice cream both dairy and non-dairy sorbets. As we sat down enjoying the delicious ice creams, the friendly owner Zdenka Stipanović told us about the products they offer and how they are made. She even showed us the machines and explained how they work!
