MARKOGI’S PRODUCTS
LJUTENITSA
The recipe of Ljutenitsa “Markogi” is inherited from our great grandparents. They have carefully selected the best quality peppers, eggplants and tomatoes in order to achieve a full flavor and for their children and grandchildren to enjoy food with an abundance of vitamins.
Our Ljutenitsa is not fried, it is vacuum cooked, which makes it healthy and recommended for consumption by people with sensitive stomachs. There are no preservatives, colorants, or chemicals.
Lab analysis shows that Ljutenitsa Markogi contains very high Antioxidant Activity, because of the high quality raw material. In 100 g Ljutenitsa there is the daily dose of Vitamin C.
BULK LJUTENITSA
Sometime after Ljutenitsa in jars became a part of the company’s portfolio, many of its fans became nostalgic for the old days, when they personally filled jars and sterilized them. This is the beginning of the Bulk Ljutenitsa from Hrishteni village.
