Croatian gastronomy

Croatia enjoys the privilege of having one of the greatest gastronomies in the world. It offers a diverse culinary experience with a variety of natural and savory dishes. Croatian cuisine is based on locally and ecologically produced ingredients which is why it is difficult to capture its authentic flavor elsewhere. Croatian Chefs are the most important ingredient in presenting Croatian gastronomy and Croatian food to the tourists. That is why Helle Travel Agency has prepared exclusive culinary programs and ideas based on the gastronomic diversity of Croatia in order to showcase the very best of your intended destination. Croatian gastronomy offers a blend of various regional recipes, from spicy inland specialties to Dalmatia’s Mediterranean based cuisine. Mediterranean gastronomy is said to be one of the healthiest in the world, closely related to people’s well-being and vigor. The fact that 87out of one hundred healthiest food ingredients are produced on Croatian soil and are therefore an intrinsic part of Croatian cuisine indicates an array of unique gastronomic experiences. As we gain more insights into the nutritive value of naturally cultivated vegetables and raw food, there is also a higher demand for the type of gourmet creations based on ingredients that maintain their aroma and preserve a distinct fragrance. This is why coastal Croatian gastronomy offers an ideal balance of Mediterranean cuisine and authentic Croatian recipes. On the other hand, continental Croatian cuisine revolves around Turkish and Austrian culinary influences as opposed to the gentle overtones of Mediterranean cuisine prevalent along the Adriatic coast and Dalmatia’s islands. However, irrespective of the region, venues carefully selected by Helle Travels team only further emphasize our clients’ foray into Croatian cuisine. The personalized experience of private dining in exceptionally beautiful Mediterranean gardens, antique taverns, gulets, sumptuous villas unavailable to general public or exclusive restaurants encased by awe-inspiring scenery creates a unique ambiance and ensures an unforgettable experience of your destination.
