To keep a taste of tradition and also use handwork on every single product is the reason to say that every piece is original. Yeast cakes are really tasty and smooth so if you try them you always want some more.
Poppy Seed Pastry
Poppy seed pastry (“kolach”) is a type of pastry that holds a dollop of sweet poppy filling rimmed by a puffy pillow of supple dough. The poppy seeds are grinded for a finer texture and better flavour, then combined with milk, sugar, lemon juice and salt, and simmered until the mixture thickens.
Original Plum Jam Pastry
Plum filling pastry is soft yeasted dough with a divot in the centre traditionally filled with plum stew (povidla). Many Czech families had their own secret recipe handed down from generation to generation. Povidla is cooked for several hours, without additional sweeteners or gelling agents, to achieve the necessary sweetness and consistency.
Curd Cheese Pastry
Traditionally, newly engaged women sent small kolače to family and friends as an invitation to the wedding. The finest curd cheese is found in the Czech Republic and Slovakia — traditional makers warm soured milk until the desired degree of coagulation is reached, then hang the cheese in loosely woven cotton gauze and let the whey drip off, resulting in a delicate balance of texture and taste.
