This private tour offers an exclusive visit to local producers who craft these cherished dishes, which have been passed down through generations in the Una-Sana Region and across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
What are Trahana and Omac?
Trahana is a unique pasta variety crafted from a delightful blend of flour and milk or yogurt, resulting in tiny granules measuring 2-3 mm in size.
There are different types of Trahana, each with its unique ingredients, ranging from sour and sweet to thick and thin. There are even varieties that are suitable for Lent.
The preparation includes combining flour, yogurt, and sour milk, along with the option to add cooked vegetables, salt, or spices.
The mixture undergoes a series of steps including kneading, drying, grinding, and sieving. Drying is particularly important as it allows the mixture to spread out and dry rapidly.
The Health Benefits of Trahana:
High in Protein: Crucial for the repair and growth of muscles.
