Bosnia’s Taste of Tradition

From mountain-aged cheese to liquid gold olive oil, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s traditional foods are making a mark on the European culinary map

In a quiet but proud stride towards culinary acclaim, Bosnia and Herzegovina has officially protected 20 traditional food products under EU-aligned regulations.

Of these, six boast the prestigious designation of origin, eleven carry a geographical indication, and three shine as guaranteed traditional specialties.

The initiative, led by the Food Safety Agency of BiH, includes an interactive map designed to bolster tourism and market visibility, guiding gourmets and travellers alike through a flavourful journey of Bosnia’s edible heritage.

Leading the pack is the renowned Livanjski cheese, now recognised within the EU’s registry of geographical indications — a first for any pre-accession country.

Herzegovinian extra virgin olive oil, already protected at home and now poised for European recognition.

This quiet revolution in food identity isn’t just about labels; it’s about putting Bosnia and Herzegovina’s rich, often overlooked culinary traditions firmly on the global gastronomic radar.
