Gorani boza

People from the Gorani community living in the mountainous Gora region situated between Albania, Kosovo, and Macedonia have had a long-standing tradition of producing a type of millet beer known locally as boza. With an acidic flavor and a light alcohol content, this beverage is made by fermenting millet (Panicum miliaceum, called prosok in the local language) in water with no added malt.

Renowned for their production of this fermented beverage, the Gorani people have commonly been called the bozadzij, meaning people who prepare boza.
