It turns out that the typical Bulgarian delicacies such as the Panagyurishte sausage and Elena fillet, which were previously protected by the European Commission, are prepared from imported meat.
The Association of Traditional Raw Dried Meat Products even reports that between 80 and 90% of the local products produced in our country are prepared with imported meat.
Although the Panagyurishte sausage, the Elena fillet and the Gorno Oryahov sudzuk recently received a certificate for typically Bulgarian products, the meat in them is not Bulgarian at all.
The meat from which our delicacies are made is imported either from member states of the European Union or from Argentina. The reason for this is that there is a great shortage of Bulgarian meat products.
The shortage of beef is especially great, as fewer and fewer farms in our country raise cattle.
"The raw material is imported mainly from the European Union, as imports from third countries are much more difficult," said engineer Pavlina Lilova from the Association of Meat Processors to Novinar.
According to acquaintances, because Bulgarian meat is fresh, its price is higher than that of imported meat and many producers prefer imports to Bulgarian.
Sausage and Elena fillet, for example, are mass-produced from canned Argentine crumbs. Experts add that between 80 and 90% of the typical Bulgarian appetizers are prepared from imported meat.
However, the export of our delicacies abroad does not stop. Native products, which are made according to an old recipe, are now sold in almost all of Europe.
Among the Europeans in demand are the water grandmother, water mince and water delicacy. European traders buy our delicacies en masse and then sell them in the west.
The fact that some of the Bulgarian appetizers are not certified to some extent hinders their sale, but a procedure has already been launched to solve this problem.
The industry also adds that so far the Russian embargo has not had a negative impact on Bulgarian meat producers. Our meat exports to Russia have always been low.
