HRISTOV BISER

With a career of 20 years as a butcher at Covameat behind him, Hristov is thoroughly familiar with the requirements our products must satisfy before they can be delivered to our customers. He can choose which products or parts of the pig he uses to prepare his dish, as it can be created with various types of meats. When he was a child, the holidays always started with a dish of sauerkraut – just like at many other Bulgarian families. Sauerkraut is a traditional dish that is appreciated by 90% of the Bulgarian population, according to Hristov.
