Svrljig belmuz is a traditional dish from the mountainous regions of the southeastern part of Serbia, which is included on the list of Serbia’s intangible cultural heritage.
Belmuz is traditionally made from young sheep’s and cow’s cheese and cornmeal flour.
Since it is characteristic of one part of Serbia, many people still haven’t tried this specialty.
In Serbia, Belmuzijada is held every year in Svrljig, an economic tourism and cultural event dedicated to belmuz.
