Dalmatians like to speak of Dalmatia in superlatives, but who can blame them? Apart from the divine, luxurious landscape and cultural heritage which they cherish so attentively, there is one more thing that is worth being described in epithets. To find out what this is, it is enough to peak into kitchens (kužine) of old taverns; pots (teče) of hardworking Dalmatian women, or stone alleys where you can smell grilled fish from any corner. Yes, you are right; we have decided to take on another attractive journey, which is, above all – delicious! If you are a true gourmet, peak into our ‘gastronomic map’ and discover a heaven for your senses anywhere in Dalmatia!
Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful and most significant cultural centres, while its luxury is well accompanied by gastronomic offer. Apart from the refined taste of oysters, which are grown in Maloston bay from the ancient times, here you can enjoy in classic meat dishes baked under the baking lid and unusual dishes from Neretva valley like frog brujet (frog stew)! For dessert try rozata – French version of crème brûlée, kotonjara – dessert made of quince or arancini (orange peel in sugar). Complete your meal with high quality wine – whether you chose Dingač or Pelješac Postup, Pošip or Grk from Korčula or Malvazija from Konavle, your pleasure is guaranteed!
Split, special and specific like its emperor’s palace, will sweep you of your feet with refined pašticada taste, and capture you with simple and yet delicious specialties like Vis’, Hvar’s or Komiža’s flat bread. Splitsko – Dalmatinska County encompasses the area of Cetina and Sinj, so you can please your gourmet needs with arambašići – cabbage roles stuffed with beef, or freshwater crabs stew! Vugava and Plančić wines from Hvar will certainly please you, but you can also try a mixture of red wine and goat milk – the so-called smutica!
The region of best preserved medieval town Šibenik is proud of its high quality, reward wining prosciutto, which you can try together with cheese from goatskin! Treat yourselves with tasty sardine or grilled tuna. Make sure you try soparnik – pastry filled with mixture of olives, figs and olive oil! Round your meal with a glass of red wine – Babić from Primošten, or perhaps some of the desserts like almond cake or Skradin cake. Delicious fruit žižule are also nice dessert, and since they contain a lot of nutrients, guest never asks about their price!
‘White city’ Zadar will welcome you with a glass of maraschino – liqueur made of autochthonous maraska cherry, which outshines any other cherry sort in the world by the quantity of its dry matter! Pag’s cheese is another exceptional delicates – sheep on Pag, due to the deficiency of ‘regular’ plants, are fed with aromatic herbs so they produce one of the most delicious and most appreciated cheeses. Also try delicious fish brodet (fish stew) or perhaps ninski šokol – delicates which owes its great taste to a special combination of herbs and quality pork meat.
Set off to a journey through Dalmatia, guided by divine flavours and scents…!
