What it is
Potica is a Slovenian rolled nut bread, and this is the reference for it: where it comes from, how it is actually made, and the short list of people who still ship one.
The list is short for a reason
It is a slow bread with a thin dough and a filling heavy enough to tear it, so the people who make it well are mostly the people who learned it from somebody. That is a smaller group every year, and writing down what they do is most of the point of the site.

Questions
- Is this a recipe site?
- It has the method, but the point is the reference — what potica is, and who still makes it properly.
- Can I buy one through the site?
- It tells you who ships. You buy from them.
- Why does it matter?
- Because the people who know how to do it are a smaller group every year, and nobody was writing it down.
