The municipality of Petrovac na Mlavi is specific due to the multinational composition of the population, so the diet in relation to other areas is extremely interesting and authentic. The emphasis is on food from our own production, grown on the basis of a healthy diet, without excessive spraying and artificial feeding, because traditional specialties require just such ingredients. Traditional dishes, which can hardly be said to be healthy food, come from areas that are still ecologically clean. The specialty of the gastronomy of this area is certainly the preparation of local specialties in an autochthonous way, and largely conditioned by the specifics of the environment.

One of such specialties is Zmare, or Zumijare, a traditional ethno dish from the municipality of Petrovac na Mlavi. The element of cooking Zmare is entered in the National Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Serbia. In honor of this dish in the village of Kladurovo every year is organized gastronomic and tourist event "Zumarijada" which attracts a large number of visitors. As Zmare is characterized by a very specific method of preparation (cooked for around 16 hours and the preparation requires a whole sheep, about seventy leeks and corn flour) this event is an ideal way to taste this authentic dish. Apart from Zmare, it is certainly interesting to try vlaski kacamak, which is best accompanied by home-made sheep cheese, plasinte, gigiljis, proja ( from Bistrica flour from mills), Homolje lamb, trout from local ponds, wine, and brandy from local producers, natural jams and juices, and honey because Kamenovo has the epithet - the village of beekeepers.

In the municipality of Petrovac na Mlavi, food and drinks are one of the extremely important motives that determine tourists to come to this part of Serbia. There is a growing interest of the local population to participate in a kind of authentic gastronomic offer of this area (Kamenovo - the village of beekeepers, Lopusnik and Krvije with family wineries, Ranovac with brandy, Kladurovo with zmare, Stamnica with "Bacijada" as well as various gastro- manifestations of the municipality (cabbage festival, prasiciada ...) There is a growing presence of local producers who cooperate with caterers in the municipality. Tourists in local restaurants can now try local drinks (brandy, wine) but also local products (cheese, flour, kajmak, jams, winter products... ) Numerous events in the villages of Petrovac municipality are dedicated to local products (Zumarijada, Fair of watermill mills , Fair of beekeepers ...) . Certain villages in the Petrovac municipality are recognizable by the local products (Kamenovo by honey, Ranovac by brandy, Kladurovo by zmare ) and there are gastronomic events in them.

The caterers of the municipality of Petrovac na Mlavi are increasingly trying to make the guest satisfied with the ambience and hospitality. The gastronomic offer is slowly gaining support in the wider territory of the municipality, both through various events dedicated to the taste of this area (Zumarijada, Bacijada, Fair of watermill mills ) as well as interesting catering facilities that look great in the overall ambient.
