Potica for everyone!! Potica has always been a favorite of mine for breakfast and now with the addition of a brother-in-law and nephew to our household we have more potica eaters! January 28, 2013
Very disappointing! I had high expectations for this potica. Instead of baking my own pastry, I ordered this for Christmas morning. I expected a light, flaky treat with amazing flavor, but instead got a compressed, dense and only mildly flavorful pastry. We tried it at room temperature and heated through and nothing seemed to create the flavor experience that I was expecting. I'll stick with my own creations from now on. January 17, 2013
A Delightful Treat I had never tasted a Potica Loaf before, but I was very glad I took the opportunity to learn what I had been missing. As advertised, it was completely bakery fresh. The happy surprise for me was in its very satisfying taste, texture, and aroma. January 8, 2013
OH BABY! I found some Potica Loaf A family friend use to make this, and was one of my favorites as a child. I havent seen any for years and was just looking around the net and found your store and POTICA BREAD! I bought one right away you delivered it even quicker, we had a family gathering the next night and bought it with us, it didnt last but 15 min! Everyone wanted more next year I'll order extra! thanks for the great service! January 8, 2013
Superb potica found at Vermont Country Store Living on the Iron Range in N.E. Minnesota for many years, I became adquainted with first and second generation Serbians and Croatians who brought over their skills making potica. No one, including myself, could come close to the moist, many layered delicious delcacy that the natives could achieve until I ordered one from Vermont Country Store. At last, one that was as good as the best of the Iron Range Potica! Thank you for providing a very special treat for our Christmas table! We'll be back, ordering again! January 7, 2013
Potica Lover Having been raised on potica I was nervous of ordering this for my mother who spends many hours making this each year. She loved it! I'll be ordering it again for my folks and others next year! Thank you! January 7, 2013
Awesome service for an outstanding product. Wanted to send some potica to my mother-in-law because she is not able to make it anymore. I spoke with a very nice and helpful customer representative because the website would not let me change the billing address to mine instead of my in-laws'. She did so quickly and efficiently. They really liked the potica and wanted to know where to get more. I was glad to share the info with them. Thank you so much for carrying this and many other products. January 7, 2013
Just Like Grandma Used to Make (Almost) I am of Slovenian descent on both sides. Both grandmothers made potica until they passed away in recent years. Although I have their recipes (very similar), it is very labor intensive to make and have only tried once and actually made something edible, but not quite like them. Your recipe is very yummy and competes well. I would like to suggest that you add yellow raisins to add a little moisture to the loaf along with that flavor. That would make it perfect!

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Baked Fresh Potica Loaf …

"I grew up with this delicious bread." - Patricia Hill, Hutchinson, MN

"I ordered a Walnut Potica from the Christmas catalogue for my cousin and her family who live in Boston, Massachusetts. They shared it at a family gathering on Christmas Eve and said it was delicious. There is no way I could pull myself together during the holiday season to make a potica. Thank you for making the Eastern European favorite available." - Lois Kubit, Parma, OH

"Your potica is just as I remember my grandma's to be. It's not easy to make, which makes me appreciate yours even more. With your help, I've been able to pass along a family holiday tradition. Thanks!" - Karen, Charlotte,

"I was born and raised in Euclid, Ohio, and i used to help my grandmother who came from Slovenia,Yugslavia... and how I loved being with her and remembering my favorite thing in the whole world to eat was potica. It took a day to make. Yours is delicious, and thank you for the memories. Linda" - linda mervar, menlo park, CA

"Seeing this in your catalog brought back memories for me. My grandmother was from Yugoslavia and used to make this as well for my family. I can't wait to try yours and compare the two." - Richard Fabian, Rochester, NY

"My mother and I used to make potica for every special occasion. It required a devotion to the process for the whole day. This potica is exactly like the wonderful ones that we used to make. Basic ingredients and flavorful goodness that are so much appreciated and loved. Thanks for sticking with tradition." - Jo Smallwood, Newport Beach, CA

"I am a Slovenian from Ohio, and my mother made this every year and filled the dough so full you couldn't see the layers. Yours is very good and my family likes it, which means I don't have to do any of the work. It's a two-day process of love. I order it every year. Thanks! Barb" - Barbara G. Joslin, Punta Gorda, FL

"I've been ordering your potica for several years now. My mother is Slovenian but moved from Pueblo, Colorado, to Indiana when she married my father. Potica was always a part of our trips home, but neither my mother nor I ever made one. Now I share yours with her and her friends at her nursing home at Christmas. It's like going home for the holidays." - Jan Armstrong, Springville, IN

"Grew up in Cleveland, OH. In Georgia 47 years now. Mom's side was Slovenian, and homemade Potica was a part of every holiday and celebration. I have a cousin in Cleveland who just sent me three loaves for my freezer - made with the walnuts and mine HAS TO HAVE raisins. She has the BEST source from an elderly Slovenian lady. Anytime I get a visitor from up there I tell them to bring Potica. LOVE THE STUFF. Thanks." - Claudette Mazurkiewicz, Grayson, GA
