ABOUT ME

Cao! My name is Milka. Growing up, I watched the women who raised me cook up traditional dishes with all the love and passion they could give. They taught me the importance of being bold and humble. Today, it’s what keeps me grounded and reminds me of who I am.

The Spicy Balkan is a tribute to the remarkable women who raised me, whose unwavering spirit and spicy attitude were passed down through generations. We love to love, and when we love, we love hard. This is our secret ingredient that we want to share with the world. 🌶️🖤 More love, that’s it 😊

WHAT IS AJVAR?

Ajvar (pronounced eye-var) also known as Balkan Caviar, is a roasted red peppers and eggplant spread or can be enjoyed as a side dish. Ajvar can taste mild and fruity or sharp and spicy.

The journey of Ajvar begins with a unique variety of peppers known as Roga. These Balkan-style peppers are elongated, tapering to a point resembling a bull's horn, from which their name is derived.
