Spicy Balkan isn’t just food...it’s a declaration. We honor the fiery, timeless traditions of the Balkans, crafting every product with the same care, heart, and unapologetic boldness that’s been passed down through generations.

We use only simple, all-natural ingredients, because real flavor doesn’t need shortcuts. Every bite hits with authenticity, richness, and a little bit of attitude, just like the kitchens we grew up in.

From our family to yours, we bring the Balkans straight to your table: uncompromising, unforgettable, and full of flavor that demands attention.

THE BALKAN MISSION

Founded by Milka Subotić, my mission is to honor the legacy of the women in my life by preserving our culture and sharing the recipes and traditions they passed down to me. I strive to keep these traditional methods alive, build a strong community, and share their wisdom through artisanal food that nourishes both body and soul. I want to pass on the same love they gave me to the world.
