The European Commission has approved the entry of the name Troyanska Lukanka in the register of traditional specialties guaranteed. Troyanska lukanka is a pressed, raw-cured and raw-smoked meat product prepared from ground beef or buffalo meat, pork and natural spices..It has a distinctive flavor and pronounced aroma, and is moderately salty. 

The production of Troyanska Lukanka is linked to the traditional production method, during which the microbiological, physico-chemical and biochemical processes taking place in the meat ingredients form the stable colour, good structure, pleasant aroma and taste of the finished product. The name ‘Troyanska’ itself originates in the name of the city of Troyan, where the product was first produced and made popular by Ilia Taslakov. He was one of the first sausage producers in Bulgaria. In 1883 he imported the first meat grinding machines into Bulgaria.
