Day 10 in Albania for me began in the town of Leskovik, where is where an incredible farm called Farma Sortira is located. Join me as I experience Albanian farm life and make lakror and petulla at Farma Sortira in Leskovik, Albania!

Farma Sortira is located in the mountains of southeastern Albania, near the Albania/Greece border. It’s located between Korçë and Përmet.
My boy Erjan and I met Nida from Farma Sortira at the fish farm area of their property. They also have pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks.
We ate in an open-air cottage and began with some coffee. Then, I headed into the kitchen to watch them make petulla. I watched a woman mix the dough with her hands and fry it up while I tried some fresh cheese.
These were medium-sized petulla, which you can eat with marmalade or honey. I tried some with some honey, which was unreal! It was doughy but crispy and not too golden brown. The honey was too delicious!
Our breakfast consisted of petulla, eggs, butter, marmalade, tomatoes, cucumber, cheese, cherry juice, bread, and more. We also had some super strong rakija that tasted a lot like grappa!
I started with more petulla with honey, which also paired well with the cheese. The eggs were super fresh. Everything was so simple and healthy!
After breakfast, we went on a horseback ride. We only rode for 30 minutes due to time constraints, but you can also go for an hour, two hours, and even 5 days! After 15 minutes, we turned around my horse picked up speed! He was excited to get back to the farm!
Then, I got to see them fish for a bit and visited the butcher, who was butchering some lamb. He took the lamb to a huge pot and put some embers underneath. Meanwhile, a woman rolled some dough super thin to make the lakror!
Back at the fish farm, they caught some fish for us. The guy cleaned it, salted it, and threw it on the grill. Five minutes later, it was ready! While everything cooked, we toured the farm! We saw the ducks and pigs. It was an authentic look into Albanian farm life!
Then, we visited their family bungalow, which has two rooms, one with a double bed and one with two twin beds. It was very simple and rustic with a modern bathroom. There’s also a gorgeous view. The mountain view was so beautiful!
Then, it was time to eat! They baked us some bread. Then, we tried the trout, which was so roasty with soft, tender meat. The lakror is a type of baked pie that contained eggs, butter, yogurt, cheese, and olive oil. It’s baked over a fire with a hot lid on top with embers put on top! Erjan says it’s tastier than byrek!
We tried the lamb directly from the pot, which was unreal. It was really hot but so juicy and fatty! We also had some chicken with a pasta called petka. It was tender and juicy, and the petka was like a soft, buttery tagliatelle. What a winning combination! We also had white shesh wine and red mavrud wine from the area. The white was really good, and the red was also fantastic!
Next was the qumeshtor, or Albanian milk pie. It was sweet, creamy, and a little charred on top. I loved it! It reminded me of flan! The lakror was so cheesy and milky, and the butter was amazing, too! It was sweet, crispy, and creamy. It was like the best byrek ever!
What an awesome experience! One of my favorites so far in Albania!

Love the clean and green Albania so quiet and peaceful away from stress.
Beautiful beautiful country
🤩🇦🇱🤩🇦🇱🤩
The cities are pretty busy, but not the farm life 🤩
Hello David! We visited Albania in August 2020, wonderful country and taste food, thanks fo your travel. From 🇧🇾 with love
How fun! 🤗
Just another day in Paradise. Love from India. 😘😘😘😘
David is a simple man, i like his attitude, such a people we need to come in albania
Simple man
🤩🇦🇱🤩🇦🇱🤩🇦🇱🤩
I am based in one of the rich/ beautiful Island of the Caribbean ( Brits Territory) which i call it Paradise! Yet when i watched your series of Albanian tours this the real Paradise for sure!!! There's beaches, canals, alps, flats, hills, old and modern archi plussss the yummy farm to table foods!!!! Awesome!!!! Total package!!!❤️👍😎❤️
poor in money, but rich in life!
I follow David’s channel for a while. It seems that he is so in love in Albania he has been in the country for about 2 months now and the several video uploads about Albania confirm this. Can only add that the promotion he has given Albania from his channel is more than the actual central tourism’s office has done in last 30 years. I salute you David!
Yeah that’s awesome
🤩🇦🇱🤩🇦🇱🤩🇦🇱🤩
Indeed!!!
I think the food in Albania need to be part of UNESCO
I second that 😁🤗
Haven't Even Watched The Video Yet But I Know it's Going To Be Good 😊😍 Thanks For The Yummiest Videos 😋😋♥️
I love watching your videos. Makes me miss my time in that part of the world. My friends in Kosovo taught me how to make Pejtla and I still make it. I've spent time in Albania as well. Both such beautiful countries and even more beautiful people. Bëft mirë!
Watching from USA drooling 😁🤩🤗
Albania is a total different experience in Europe. The best way to describe it is " local ". The country is still not globalised. It's just authentic and raw.
@lili shyta well said!
O my god Albania so amazing and very beautiful .
I am jealous of you enjoying yourself so much in beautiful Albania♥️🖤 Thank you David.
Everything pure nature and organic. I eat my petulla also with cheese.
My mother always said “BUKË E KRYP E ZEMER TE BARDH"
R.I.P. mother and father🌹
How about the first half of the plate with petulla with cheese and the second half with honey or fig jam. Sht..sounds like paradise. We have to apreciate everyday the little things in life
@@glen80elezi46 Yes. Very true.
@@glen80elezi46
I’m not sure if they say the same in Albania. My angels that rest in peace in Kosovo... They did..
That is because Albanian even if they are poor they are very welcoming people to share their last piece of bread and salt with you .. And their pure heart.
@@izabellaangel5015 yes we say the same. Buke e kripe e zemer..which in fact during the communism switched to "buke e kripe e RTM" which was an Italian tv with adult programs.lol Jokes aside, i agree with you..Albanian hospitality is a value that needs to be cherished
@@izabellaangel5015 don't smoke too much weed there. 😆
the best food 🥘 the best looking females , the best friendly people ,nature so diverse is unbelievable , welcome to the double headed eagle Land ALBANIA 🇦🇱❤️🇦🇱

Lakror is made with greens like spinach, or any other greens including wild ones.
Lakra=greens.
Shikon Zhgenjimin e tij pret lakrorin I del byrek me gjize. hahaha
I have my grandmother board she used to roll the dough. I have only used frozen dough. Time to take my grandmother's down from display and learn to make the dough.
@@jonjona3650 në ato zona i thone lakror Atij me gjize dhe atij me djath

Çamëria ka plazhe të bukura si plataria dhe preveza.
In winter there is very cold, snow and ice.
Must be beautiful in winter 😍
I am loving these Albanian videos. David is awesome and so respectful. I think he's Albanianized!
Wonderful place, delicious food ,thank you for showing.
Tamam ... reklame per Shqiperine 🤩
Hi David! If you're planning to go to Përmet, visit my uncle's traditional Cheese factory. It is called Baxho Meshini and is built inside a communist bunker. It's very popular nowadays.
Fun 🎉

Great show, hello from Australia.
Too many ducks,,, produce too much shit! Put some fua gra with that breakfast? Now your talking!🍷🍶🍸😄
You should eat dumplings/petulla with honey and cheese at the same time, btw they treat you in Albania like a king, which other country would do that?
Husband David I envy you. You're so delicious eating in my home ❤️ 🇦🇱 boy
That honey is unrefined honey. Petulla with that honey is always something out of this world.

Nice horseriding!
David, This Albanian series is absolutely fun-freakin'-tastic ! 👌
I am a nature lover... love endless adventure and natural food/ produce. This particular series has the best of both worlds. 😘 👏
🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱❤❤❤
Sorry Dave. I can't drink beer anymore. It makes me gassy and even I have to go outside to blow. You don't want to be around. It's a true curse. Really interested in the Albanian wines though.
Honestly I am asking is this guy really doing a travel video like he did in India or is it a propaganda sales kind video.
I think the whole Albania is a paid up video with zero truth, he is a hungry person from USA who is using Europe to eat and earn and no truth in his video, drunkard, glutton and based on some previous video some lady in wait element also
Same as Macedonian food!
Petulla in macedonian there are different types, mekici, and pitulici.
And in every city they are with different names
David please take opportunity next time to visit nearby Vlach town of Moskopole,
FANTASTIC
WOW,WOW,WOW AMAIZIN WEIVS AND BEAUTI AND HEALTHY FOOD ,WELCOM TO ALBANIA DAVID I HOPP YOU HAVING A HAPPY TIMES ,I,M ALBANIAN LEAVING IN SWEDEN SOOOO MUCH MISSING MY HOME ALBANIA PLEASE ENJOY AND FEEL AS YOUR HOME !
Did she mean dogs on the menu when giving a list of animals they eat?Or they have dogs on the property ...
We don’t eat dogs in Albania.
She said even horses.
Of course she meant the animals they have, not eating them all.
We don't eat dogs in Albania.
Language barriers should be taken into account when watching such videos.
All countries of Balkan have samecuisine plus minus so thiis no suprise you have the same in North Macedonia
مرحبا بيك تبارك الله عليك 😊 😊 😊
Buonasera un posto dell'Albania che non conosco, devo dire molto molto bello. Gradirei sapere il nome del paese dove si trova questo villaggio e come si chiama il villaggio, vorrei fare una vacanza in questo posto. Grazie
Enjoy
Bone apetit David from Albania Vlora.

You eat soo much man😂😂. Albania beatiful
It looks like every time David eats Albanian/Kosovan food, he experiences foodgasm :) We are aware that our food is on of the best in the world, but considering the quality of American food, this must be all the more euphoric culinary experience.
Amen sistah 😁🤩
Ahhaha that scream while you were riding that horse hahaha
