Soulfood Serbia - Kajmak

Kajmak, a slightly aged, salted clotted cream is a traditional dairy product in the mountainous regions of Serbia. Creamy and slightly tart, it is served as an entrée, as a spread or as an addition to meals (rather like butter or sour cream). It is made by fermenting the milk fat obtained by scalding milk. The Serbian saying “Take the kajmak off”, apart from its primary culinary meaning, means taking for yourself the most valuable part of something. In that sense, the kajmak of tourism in Serbia is the spectacular Mount Zlatibor, the closest towns to which are Čajetina, Užice and Nova Varoš or the village of Mokra Gora with the ethno-village of Drvengrad, built by film director Emir Kusturica. But there’s more to Zlatibor than the famous kajmak; you’ll also find a wide range of Zlatibor šljivovica, cheese, and smoked and dried meats.
