Twisted Pressburg crescent pastries filled with poppy seed or walnut paste, baked daily at the city's heritage bakeries and Christmas market stalls.
Bratislavske rozky (Pressburger Kipferl) originate in Pressburg-era bakeries through the 19th century, when Hungarian-Austrian-Slovak baking tradition fused walnut and poppyseed fillings into a twisted crescent. The PGI-protected designation was granted by the EU in 2012.
