Farm Under the Balkans produces natural dairy and meat
products from buffalo, sheep, cows and goat's milk and meat. The buffaloes and
the sheep they raise are from rare Bulgarian breeds - the Bulgarian Murra
buffaloes and Karakachan sheep raised freely in the pastures of central Stara
Planina.
Nikola Kulov, an offspring of Karakachan, and his wife Tanya
watch 900 Karakachan sheep, 150 buffaloes of Bulgarian Murra, over 200 goats
and over 200 cows (including meat-eaters). The farm and sales help their
children Agora and Jani, as well as his brother and his family. In late autumn
and all winter until early spring, the Karakachan sheep of Kulovi graze in
Podbalkana and the foothills of Sredna Gora, and in summer and early warm
autumn they graze in the pasture area "Ravnets" of Central Balkan
National Park. Throughout the grazing season, buffaloes find food and coolness
around the Byala and Nevolya rivers.
The unique taste of the dairy products of the farm
“Under the Balkans” is due to the combination of breed, soil, air, free-range
grazing in the Balkans, as well as the traditional Bulgarian recipe for
production and ripening - only with rennet yeast and lactic acid bacteria.
