Slivovitz, the ideal kiddush tipple on a cold winter Shabbat, has been recognised for its cultural importance by UNESC0.
Serbia’s Ministry of Culture announced that the traditional plum brandy, known as sljivovica there, had been added to the UN’s “intangible cultural heritage” list, AP reported.
“On festive occasions and during family celebrations, šljivovica accompanies toasts expressing wishes for health and well-being,” UNESCO said.
“It is also an important part of traditional medicine, with medicinal herbs or fruits added to obtain cold and pain remedies or antiseptics.”
