Women from Rural Villages of Radovish Promote the Region Through Their Craft
Women from Rural Villages of Radovish Promote the Region Through Their Craft
Spring is coming, the vineyards are being pruned to yield a new harvest, and plans are being made for where to travel in the upcoming period.
One of the regions we may rarely promote on Kajak.mk is the Radovish region, which is definitely not to be underestimated. Neither is the determination of the women from 'NGO OŽ Denica,' who find ways to promote the region through their activities and daily lives.
We spoke with Vera Ristova, the woman who answered our call and painted Radovish exactly as it truly is.
Ristova says that for her, the biggest promoters of the region are and will remain the women who tirelessly work in this area. Their association has been promoting the region in various ways for many years and participates in numerous workshops organized to pass on their knowledge to younger generations.
Many of you may be wondering what samun or tatlija are, so we'll try to explain briefly.
Samun is prepared from dough placed in a clay pot. After the dough rests, it is torn by hand and shaped into an elliptical form with raised edges. On top, finely chopped pork or chicken, cheese, eggs, or the Radovish specialty Sazdrma are placed. Everything is then greased with pork fat and baked in a traditional oven, which gives it an exceptional taste.
They are proud of the 'Radovish Crafts' event, where workshops for traditional recipes, beekeeping, cheese production, wool processing, basket weaving, pottery, learning about medicinal herbs, and various other local crafts are organized every year.
A member of the organization is a woman from the village of Gabrevci, who learned the craft of pottery from her father.
Ristova says that a beloved and valued event in which they actively participate is 'Samun and Tatlija,' which the city of Radovish organized until the beginning of the pandemic. This event annually attracts a large number of tourists from both the country and abroad.
According to Vera, the samun, tatlija, and poppy seed salt are the things that attract the most attention from tourists, while 'Radovish Sweet Kadnka' serves as the cherry on top.
