VALCHOVCI

“Truhchevata kashta” is a small family-owned producer of authentic dry-cured meat delicacies, located in the heart of the Elena balkan and more precisely in the village of Valchovtsi, Elena /Bulgaria/.

Truhchevi brothers are the third generation of master butchers who, to this day, strictly follow the old methods and recipes when creating their unique delicacies.

“When preparing our delicacies, we use only local meats of the highest quality, natural spices, table salt, sugar and the magical climate of the Elena region.”

A lot of love for the craft, dedication and patience are required, since most of the delicacies mature and dry for nearly 60 days, but the famous “Elenski but” (Pork hind leg or thigh) – for up to 18 months!

“The making of high-end dry-cured products has been a tradition across the Bulgarian lands for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and we are doing our utmost to continue these traditions and honor the legacy of our ancestors!”

Currently, “Truhchevata kashta” offers ten unique dry-cured meat products. Some of the most popular ones are the “Elenski but” (Pork hind leg or thigh), “Fillet Elena” (Pork fillet with spices), “Svinski vrat po Elenski” (Pork neck with spices), “Osolena slanina” (Pork belly with salt/ salt and spices), “Babina lukanka” (Cured sausage with pork, beef/veal and spices), “Valthovski sujuk” (Cured sausage with pork, beef/veal and spices) and more.
