The Bottom Line
Strawberry Hill's povitica is the best store-bought product of its kind, in my estimation. It more than lived up to the Strawberry Hill Povitica Co.'s description.Povitica or potica is a Serbian / Croatian / Slovak rolled pastry. In addition to traditional walnut filling, the Strawberry Hill company has added cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese, chocolate chip cream cheese, apple cinnamon, raisin walnut and poppyseed to its line.
Suggested Retail Price: $32.98 for 1 (2 1/2-pound) loaf (includes UPS shipping)

Pros
Strawberry Hill Povitica Co. Varieties
© 2008 licensed to About.com, Inc.- The povitica is moist and loaded with filling and doesn't have that preservative taste of store-bought products. It can pass for grandmother's homemade nutroll unless you tell guests otherwise.
- The cakes are baked to order and arrive within one week encased in a sturdy box for gift giving via UPS.
- Instructions for cutting, serving and storing are included on the packaging.
- The povitica can be frozen.
Cons
If I had to nitpick, I found the povitica crumbled a bit when slicing upside down as advised even though I used a thin, serrated knife. My solution was to refrigerate it until cold, slice it and then allow it to come to room temperature, covered, before serving.
