Indulge in the Flavor of Visočka pečenica

Visočka pečenica is a delicacy made according to a traditional recipe, using carefully selected beef. It is smoked over beech wood for a period ranging from seven to fifteen days, depending on weather conditions, followed by an aging phase of about ten days. During this time, it develops a firm yet juicy texture, a rich aroma, and its characteristic reddish-brown color. Thanks to this preparation method, it acquires a pleasant, balanced flavor, perfect for a variety of culinary occasions.

 

Once it’s on the table, there’s no need to overthink it – enjoy it.

 

Pair it with hard cheeses such as Livanjski or kačkavalj, which mellow its salty notes and create a harmonious combination. For a fresher bite, add arugula, tomatoes, or fresh peppers. Olives and capers are excellent choices for enhancing the aroma and introducing a slight tanginess that perfectly complements the smoked character of Visočka pečenica.

 

It works wonderfully both on a board and on a plate, accompanied by dried or fresh fruit. If you enjoy combining different flavors, try the sweet-and-salty contrast: pears, dried figs, walnuts, or almonds add dynamism and transform a classic meze into a gastronomic experience.

 

If you prefer something warm, slice it thinly and briefly fry it. This releases an intense aroma and adds a slight crispness. Add it to omelets, scrambled eggs, mushroom risotto, or pasta with garlic and olive oil.

 

Complete the moment with a glass of Merlot, with its fruity notes, or Pinot Noir, with its subtle acidity, both complement the smoked character of Visočka pečenica without overpowering it, because when flavor knows the way, all you have to do is follow.
