ideal for the cultivation of a huge variety of fruits,
vegetables and herbs. This allows a particular

every meal and cold and hot soups are typical of this
south-eastern European country. Bulgaria has a
diversity of dairy products, including Kiselo mliako
(a yogurt), white brined cheese and also a variety of
wines and other local alcoholic drinks, such as Rakia,
Mastika and Menta.
