The village of Muriqan is located in northern Albania, literally just five minutes from the border with Montenegro. I was there to tour Agroturizem Shega, an amazing agrotourism farm in the area. They are famous for their pomegranate juice!

On the property is a house and garden and some fruit trees. I met Ahmet Sylejmani, the owner of Agroturizem Shega, who dried me off, and then I tried the juice. It was amazing! It was super fresh and fruity, almost like berries. Then, I watched him juice a pomegranate by cutting it and placing it in a machine that presses it.

Then Ahmet got some figs from a tree for me. They were really fresh and tasty. Then, we saw some pears, white grapes, and red grapes. The red grapes were so juicy and a little sour. The whites were sour!

Inside the house they have two rooms. with two twin beds, a table, a bathroom, and air conditioning. In the kitchen, the mother would cook dinner for me. But first, I had some of their local rakija, which was nice and smooth!

It was finally cooling down as I toured the property. I saw more pomegranates and then saw the tomatoes in their tented greenhouse. They weren’t ready yet, as they were still small and green. They have 20 rows and a few hundred plants!

Outside, they had some fresh-smelling limes and lemons. They have hens that lay 2-3 eggs per day. They put grape vines along the trees here. They don’t make wine here, but they sell the grapes.

We saw some overripe tomatoes as well as some good ones. The moldy and overripe ones feed the animals. Then, I saw some eggplants and peppers. Then, I found another Hermann’s tortoise outside! Ahmet showed me some beans he had planted and picked some tomatoes for dinner. We’d be having chicken!

The mother was cooking chicken in a nice broth. She also made a traditional cake using eggs, milk, sugar, oil, and flour. She cooks the oil and milk and adds the flour, mixes the dough, and puts it on a pan and mixed in the egg for 5 minutes. Then, she flattens the bright yellow dough in the pan and bakes it! She cut it before it was baked!

Then, Ahmet brought me some Torre shesh i zi wine, which is made from indigenous grapes. It was nice and fruity. All of the Albanian wines I’d been trying were really tasty and unique!

For dinner, I ha, pickles, tomato-and-onion salad with oil, olives, goat cheese, bread, and chicken with potatoes. The olives were nice and oily, and the pickle was a little sour but super juicy! The bread was super fluffy and perfect with the goat cheese, which wasn’t salty at all. We had picked the tomatoes ourselves!

Next, they added sugar syrup on top of the cake. While I waited for it to get ready, I dug into the chicken and potatoes. The chicken was so fresh and delicious and came from the garden. I loved it with the cheese! The French fries were really nice.
Finally, I had the cake, tepsije, which is the famous cake of the village. It’s thick and soaked with the sugar syrup. It’s super dense but doesn’t contain a lot of sugar. Then, they gave me two peaches to take home with me!
