Žinčica is a lightly sour drink made at shepherds' huts from the ewe's-milk whey left after making lump cheese (hrudka), the raw material of bryndza. The whey is heated until its proteins float up as a thick layer (urda), which is skimmed off, stirred, cooled and left covered overnight to sour.

At a glance
Žinčica is a lightly sour drink made at shepherds' huts from the ewe's-milk whey left after making lump cheese (hrudka), the raw material of bryndza. The whey is heated until its proteins float up as a thick layer (urda), which is skimmed off, stirred, cooled and left covered overnight to sour.
Žinčica is the drink side of the sheep-cheese make. Unlike bryndza or the lump cheese it is made from the whey, and unlike Icelandic sýra it is heated first and drunk within a day rather than kept for months.
Sour žinčicaMade by mixing in older, sourer žinčica.
Seknutá žinčica (Šariš and Spiš)The urda is left in, which gives a curdled, lumpy drink.
ŽentycaA dialect name for the same whey drink (sk.wikipedia).
Safety
FermDB has the whey heated to 90–95 °C before it sours, then soured to pH 5.2 or below and drunk cooled. Lauková et al. 2020 tested 7 enterococcus isolates from žinčica from farms in central Slovakia. All were hemolysis-negative and none had the cytolysin A gene, but five carried another virulence gene (gelE, agg or esp) and four formed biofilm. The abstract covers enterococci only, not other pathogens.
Hazards the sources name: Enterococcus faecium and E. faecalis (7 isolates from žinčica; the virulence gene gelE was found in two E. faecium strains, and agg in one and esp in two E. faecalis strains; none carried the cytolysin A gene; four E. faecium strains formed biofilm; the authors call the virulence genes mostly absent, the isolates hemolysis-negative and mostly antibiotic-susceptible).
Žinčica was made at sheep huts across the Slovak Carpathians; shepherds drank it every day and used it as a remedy for lung and stomach complaints (Encyclopedia of Slovak folk culture). The rest was fed to dogs and pigs (sk.wikipedia).
