For Foodies: Sklizeno

“The brand Sklizeno stands for quality so you don’t have to study every label in the shop in search of meat content,” said founder David Kukla.

These days anyone who sells tofu and a few bags of lentils feels qualified to slap the word bio on their shop signs. These newly green-ified shops lack any underlying concept or consistency in their offer—my favorites are the ones that display Big Corny “granola bars” next to the wholesome Flapjack variety.
 
Sklizeno doesn’t even mess around with the bio label. They get straight to the point with their motto: opravdové jidlo or real food.
 
“Our philosophy is to put ‘real food’ back on the shelves. This means food made without unnecessary chemicals and from quality ingredients. We also prefer local producers,” said Sklizeno founder David Kukla.

In contrast to the often closet-sized bio locales around the city, Sklizeno is a one-stop shop. You can buy anything from spaghetti squash to fresh butter—and everything in between—at just a 10-20 % higher cost than your average supermarket.
 
Near the entrance they have coolers with organic and farm-quality meat and poultry, including turkey and lamb. The dairy corner showcases fresh yogurt, cheese and milk—both cow and goat— and the veggies and fruit are located along the back wall. They also have fresh bread and pastries, and a deli counter with sausage, cured meats and hard cheeses.

Of course I had to throw a few of them in my basket. I chose an I.P.A. called Samuraj and a Christmas Ale (15 °). I thought they would go down well with some špekáčky sausages (80% meat) from the deli and fresh cow’s cheese with olives. I also picked up some chicken breasts and assorted veggies to make a stir-fry.

Later that week, I prepared a red lentil stew with onion, chicken stock and a few sliced-up špekáčky. The flavor from the sausage turned this simple dish into something amazing. The only thing missing was a few more Kocour brews to wash it down.
