Delikatesa Maximarket – Fancy fooood

Image by Eva Taucar

This deli on the basement floor of Maximarket is quite a sight; I was positively surprised when I set foot inside for the first time after the reincarnation from just an ordinary food market, crowded in the weekends with youngsters buying alcohol for parties, to definitely no.1 gourmet place in Ljubljana.

They have a huge range of Slovenian wines, oils and meat products proudly promoting our culinary culture. Yeah, we surely know how to eat good; it is not just Italians and French who kick ass. What you definitely won’t find in these two countries is great pumpkin oil, gorgeous on green salads and beans, that comes from our North East flat region. An almost black thick liquid, known just in some parts of Austria and Hungary, is tradition in our little country; a bowl of salad can hardly manage without it. Small “fancy dessert” recipe, a bit hard to believe but with other words “don’t judge just try”, is to sprinkle few drops of pumpkin oil on vanilla ice cream – it tastes fantastic!

When it comes to top five things to bring home, you have to include this oil, Karst prosciutto, Karst sheep cheese, Teran liqueur and few bottles of Slovenian wines.

When hunger unexpectedly strikes and you are looking for something fast and cheap, it is also worth to stop here. Fresh pizza slices, sandwiches, pastries, cakes and fruits can help you to survive on a very low budget.
