Žinčica
Žinčica (in Slovak) or Žinčice (in Czech), Żentyca (in Polish)[1] is a drink made of sheep milk whey similar to kefir.[2] It is a by-product in the process of making bryndza cheese.[2]
Žinčica is fermented by the following Lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides.[2]
Traditionally, this drink is served in a črpák, a wooden cup with some pastoral scene carved into the handle.[3][4]
Bryndzové halušky is typically served with žinčica.[5]
The origin of the word is the Romanian jîntiţa, the drink being carried by Vlach shepherds instead of water.[citation needed]
