Peka

Dating back centuries, the peka method preserves flavors immaculately. Anything from fish and vegetables to lamb or pork can be cooked under a peka. Witnessing this culinary marvel is as delightful as indulging in its flavors. Sit back, sip on homemade rakija, and savor the anticipation as your meal cooks.

Carp on a Fork

Considered the most delicious, carp grilled on the Danube River's banks in Croatia is a culinary delight. Slowly grilled over hours, it pairs perfectly with enchanting wine from nearby vineyards descending to the Danube.

Croshimi

The Croatian take on traditional sashimi, "croshimi," boasts fresh seafood atop aromatic Mediterranean wild plants, drizzled with exquisite olive oil and paired with top-quality autochthonous wine—a perfect harmony of flavors.

Štrukl

Croatia's štrukl, a heavenly strudel made of cottage cheese and cream, captivates with its versatility—salty or sweet, boiled, baked, or roasted. Its irresistible appeal has even impressed Angelina Jolie.

Pršut/Prosciutto

The love for pršut (prosciutto) in Croatia has produced two supreme varieties—Dalmatian and Istrian. Dalmatian pršut, smoked slowly over time, and Istrian pršut, adorned with laurel leaves and spices, demand a taste alongside top Croatian wines. You can taste these wonderful flavors on your Dalmatian sailing trip.

Maraska

Zadar's Marasca cherries reign supreme, proven by their rich aromatic ingredients. Indulge in a gastronomic ritual by creating a sorbet with fresh Marasca cherries and topping it with Maraschino liqueur—an experience relished by royalty and revered figures like Alfred Hitchcock.
