Žinčica

Žinčica (in Slovak) or 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]

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 the Vlach shepherds instead of water.^{[citation needed]}
