Cultural Context

Cevapi, originating from the Balkans, particularly Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a beloved grilled dish made from minced meat.

Today, cevapi has gained popularity beyond its borders, becoming a staple in many Balkan restaurants worldwide, enjoyed for its smoky flavor and satisfying texture.
