A rich homemade-style Balkan spread, this Sofra lutenitsa blends grilled peppers and eggplant for a rustic, smoky flavor that feels especially comforting on bread or beside grilled foods.

Malincho lists this product as SOFRA Grilled Pepper & Eggplant Spread Homemade Lutenitsa 290g, made in Bulgaria and sold under SKU KT25.
