Frequently Asked Questions About Civi Vic
What is Civi Vic?
Civi Vic is a traditional regional cornmeal dish associated with Artvin in northeastern Turkey. Cornmeal is cooked with liquid until thick, and many versions are finished with butter and cheese; recipes differ between households.
Is Civi Vic a Turkish or Georgian dish?
Civi Vic is part of the food tradition of Artvin, Turkey, a region with strong Georgian cultural influence. It is best described as a regional Artvin dish rather than assigning it exclusively to one national cuisine.
How is Civi Vic different from kuymak?
Civi Vic and kuymak can both use cornmeal, butter, and cheese, but they are not simply different names for one dish. Civi Vic belongs to Artvin’s local cooking tradition, and its consistency and preparation can differ from kuymak.
What cheese is used in Civi Vic?
Civi Vic recipes commonly use a local cheese that melts into the hot cornmeal, but there is no single cheese required in every version. A flavorful melting cheese works well; taste before adding salt, especially if the cheese is salty.
Can you make Civi Vic with polenta?
You can use polenta-style cornmeal to make Civi Vic, though the texture may differ from a version made with locally milled cornmeal. Add it gradually to the liquid and stir steadily to keep the mixture smooth.
Why does Civi Vic become lumpy?
Civi Vic becomes lumpy when cornmeal is added too quickly or is not stirred into the liquid evenly. Sprinkle it in gradually while stirring, then keep mixing as it thickens and lower the heat to finish cooking.
Is Civi Vic usually eaten for breakfast?
Civi Vic is not specifically a breakfast dish; it is generally served hot as a meal or alongside other foods. In Artvin, when and how it is eaten can vary with household custom and the recipe.
Can you make Civi Vic without cheese?
Yes, you can cook Civi Vic without cheese, but it will lack the richness and savory flavor found in many traditional versions. Season the cornmeal to taste and add butter only if it suits the recipe you are following.
How do you reheat leftover Civi Vic?
Reheat leftover Civi Vic gently in a saucepan, stirring in a little water to loosen the thickened cornmeal. Keep stirring until it is hot throughout; reheating it slowly helps reduce sticking and scorching.
Can people with diabetes eat Civi Vic?
People with diabetes can include Civi Vic, but cornmeal contains carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose. A smaller serving alongside vegetables and a protein-containing food may make it easier to fit into a balanced meal.

What is Civi Vic?
Civi Vic is a traditional cornmeal dish associated with Turkey’s Black Sea region. Cornmeal is cooked with water or milk until thick and soft; recipes vary by locality and may enrich it with butter or cheese. It is served hot, with a texture somewhere between a spoonable porridge and a soft, set mash.
In its home region, it can be eaten on its own or alongside a meal, often with pickles or fresh greens. Elsewhere, it makes a warming side dish and pairs well with vegetables or a simple salad. Its energy comes mainly from carbohydrates, while its protein content is modest. For a lighter serving, use less added butter or cheese and accompany it with plenty of vegetables.
