The Cuisine

It is the cuisine that is our region’s bounty. The stylish inns and restaurants welcome tourists, offering tasty, regional dishes. The unquestionable leader of the Silesian cuisine is żur, a soup made from rye flour leaven, served with smoked beckon and an egg, as well as the roll meat and Silesian noodles.

It is kita, a smoked pork ham served hot, that prevails over the cuisine of the Beskidy highlanders as well as kwaśnica - a soup prepared from the extract from a pig snout and sauerkraut. Oscypek – a smoked cheese from sheep milk, made by the highlanders is getting more and more popular, delicious both when served cold and hot.   

The region is also known for its brewing traditions. Here function the breweries producing the most renowned beer brands: Żywiec and Tyskie.
