Medicine is synonymous with quality
Quality pickled vegetables, side dishes, additives and sauces under the Droga brand have been produced in Prlekija for more than 40 years, at the Gosad production plant in Središče ob Dravi.
When preparing the products, nothing is left to chance. On the contrary, everything is subject to strict quality control, which begins with the suppliers. We constantly check the quality of the ingredients at the raw material producers, in our own laboratory and in independent institutions and laboratories.
Inlays, accompaniments and spices are made from mostly local ingredients, with the aim of encouraging Slovenian producers to grow vegetables for their products. Their goal is to get the most ingredients on Slovenian soil, and the rest from growers in neighboring countries, each of which, due to its geographical characteristics, gives excellent results in certain varieties of vegetables.
