Hutsul bryndzya can be tasted in September (PROGRAM)

The festival "Hutsul bryndzya" was launched by a local community of Kvasy village. It is a "calling card" of Rakhiv district and one of the brightest pages of its cultural and artistic life, the Voice of the Carpathians informs.
Hutsul bryndzya is the holiday of shepherds returning home from the valleys. Every year, in April, they go with their cattle high to the mountains to the wide  meadows, where they stay until the beginning of September. In the mountains, they look after cattle, milk sheep and make cheese, brynza, vurda. Having worked all summer in the mountains, sheep farmers return home and organize a big party – the festival "Hutsul bryndzya" which will traditionally be held for the 14th time in Rakhiv on the 7-8 of September, 2013.
