Introduction

Istria

Istria, this magical and diverse miniature world, is also the largest peninsula

on the Adriatic Sea, located at the foot of the Alps.

In a relatively small area you will find a plethora of green fields and hills,

vineyards and olive groves, as well as seaside towns rich in historical and

cultural heritage. In the continental parts of the Istrian peninsula there are

medieval towns dotted around the hilltops and surrounded by mighty de-

fensive walls. For some decades now, Istria has been well known as a tourist

destination, with gentle beaches, a pleasant climate and a crystal clear sea.

Istria is a region which is increasingly being discovered by many visitors as

a holiday destination with excellent hotels, top quality wines and olive oils,

numerous restaurants and rural tourism.

In short, Istria is a treasure chest full of diverse beauty and gourmet food, not

too far from major European cities. With the aid of this booklet, we will help

you to get to know the region and the people of northwest Istria.

North-western Istria

North-western Istria stretches from the Slovenian border in the north to the

River Mirna in the south. Here we find a large variety of natural wealth,

from the mainly flatland area located near the shore, mainly dominated by

shrubs and fertile arable fields, to the gentle green hills.

From these hills the view spreads out over streams and small rivers, mean-

dering all the way to the fertile valley of the River Mirna.

There are traces of a rich historical heritage in many places. The medieval

town of Grožnjan, famous for its extraordinary beauty, is one of the most

interesting sites and is also famous for its numerous artists’ colonies and

events held there during the summer. In addition, the towns of Brtonigla

and Momjan are famous fortheir wine making traditions; Umag is the town

of tennis, and Savudrija the place most connected with the sea and fishing.

Further, the town of Novigrad is noteworthy for its perfectly preserved de-

fensive walls and the city hall located right next to the sea, and then there

is Buje, known as the “oil town” for its olive groves.

Here in Istria we are very proud of the cleanliness of our environment, which

you can witness at every step of the way. In cooperation with the Istria Tourist

Board, our offices are striving to preserve this beauty through the “Let my

Istria Shine” initiative, which includes activities and workshops for children,

teaching them to love our region from earliest childhood.

Help us keep the environment clean for future generations. We would also

ask you to not leave litter at the historical sites during your visits.

The Food and Wine of North-western Istria

The north-western region of Istria, thanks to its diverse natural wealth in

a relatively small space, is an ideal destination for an interesting vaca-

tion, with exquisite food. The region has a coastline rich in fish and in-

land hills filled with truffles and wild flora. In order to help you plan your

visit and choose from the array of bars and taverns, we are offering you

eleven food and wine routes which contain the best of north-western

Istria. Some of our routes offer selected local recipes, should you wish

to try to prepare our specialties at home.

We wish you a pleasant stay and an unforgettable holiday in north-

western Istria!

Olive trees, the most durable of trees and the symbol of the Mediterranean,

have been grown here for centuries. Istrian olive oil has been appreciated

since the time of the Ancient Romans who considered it a delicacy of excep-

tional quality, as may be seen in written records from the first century AD. It

is slightly bitter when tasted, has an intense aroma and is an unsurpassed

seasoning for the best of meals. Olive oil is the most valuable oil in the

human diet, also used to cure many health problems, and is, according to

some, the elixir of life itself.

Today, Istrian olive oil is once again in its rightful place; at the top of the

world. According to the renowned guide for extra virgin oils “L’extravergine”

Istrian olive oil is, for the fifth year in a row, among the top fifteen best

rated olive oils in the world.

On our olive oil route you have a unique opportunity to see colourful olive

groves situated on cascading hill slopes, perfectly incorporated into the

landscape. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the techniques

of growing olives and the production of extra virgin oil, and also, in the

unique and original setting of our oil pressing facilities, to taste and buy

some of the best Istrian oils. In this way, you can take the genuine flavours

of Istria home with you.

You can find more information and the list of extra virgin olive oil pro-

ducers on the website www.istria-gourmet.com and in the Istria Gourmet

brochure.

Northwestern Istria gourmet guide

Teran is a very old grape variety, one of the most widespread red grape

varieties in Istria. According to the available written records, Teran was first

mentioned 600 years ago.

It was written that Teran was given as a gift to Emperor’s ambassadors in

1390, who were given 20 ceramic bottles, and later, in 1408, Teran was

given as a gift to the Venetian Ambassador, and in 1411 to the Ambassador

of Austria. These facts certainly add to the value and quality of this red Is-

trian wine. The first description of Teran comes from the Istrian agronomist

Petar Stanković from 1825, while in local professional literature, Teran has

been talked about for around 180 years.

Just a few years ago, Teran was much more bitter in taste than today, but

Istrian winemakers succeeded in reducing its acerbity considerably by bal-

ancing modern technology and traditional processes to decrease the apple

acid in the wine, giving it a whole new quality.

We are sure that the modern Teran, the best examples of which can be

found here in north-western Istria on our Istrian Teran Route, will be ap-

preciated by many. Teran has a characteristic ruby red colour which is given

a purple tint when swirled in a glass. The aroma is pleasant, strong and

easily recognizable, the typical fruity character dominated by the fragrance

of raspberries. The relatively high acid content and the certain degree of

acidity combined with the high percentage of extract, give this wine its

characteristic full, strong and robust, but at the same time complete taste.

Because it is a well-rounded wine and contains a high antioxidant count,

it is considered to be beneficial to health.

You can find more information and the list of winemakers on the website

www.istria-gourmet.com and in the Istria Gourmet brochure.

Malvasia, whose name derives from the Greek city Monamvasia (located

on the Peloponnesian peninsula), is a grape variety which is at least 2000

years old. It is believed that Venetian wine traders brought it to Istria in the

14th century. When we talk about Malvasia, we are usually referring to a

white grape variety, although there is also a Malvasia nera (a red variety)

grown mostly in the Italian regions of Piedmont and Puglia. Today, the most

famous varieties are the white Malvasia from Italy, specifically Malvasia

Bianca del Chianti, Malvasia del Lazio, Malvasia delle Lipari, Malvasia di

Candia, Malvasia di Sardegna, and of course, Malvasia Istriana.

Malvasia became very popular in Istria in the nineteen thirties and for-

ties, and it is dominant amongst the white grape varieties here. Since the

technique used to produce Malvasia at that time was the same as for red

wine, its characteristics did not come to full expression.

Malvasia produced using this technique had a brownish tint and virtually

no scent, a slightly fruity and flowery aroma and it lacked freshness. In

short, it was an average wine and its aroma was mostly dominated by

the alcohol content.

During the nineteen-eighties things started to change for the better. A

handful of young Istrian winemakers started producing Malvasia in a tech-

nologically more advanced manner, and in the nineties a small revolution in

winemaking technology took place as more and more winemakers started

using modern techniques and production processes for this white wine.

Confirmation of the exceptional quality came in 1998 at the “Vinovita”

International Wine Fair in Zagreb when the Istrian Malvasia produced by

the Kozlović family was awarded the title of the Best White Wine in Croatia.

Following the world trend of the increasing popularity of local, indigenous

varieties, interest in the Istrian Malvasia is growing and it is appreciated

even outside Istria. Its strong alcohol and rich extract content, combined

with a moderate to low percentage of acid makes Malvasia a rich and full-

tasting wine. It is so discreet, flowery and fruity that many people say it

resembles the scent of the acacia flower. The fruity aromas are most often

dominated by apple and plum, and in a ripe wine you can also taste a hint

of bitter almond.

The little town of Brtonigla, best known as ‘The town of wine’ is the cradle

of Malvasia wine in the Istria region. For more than 30 years Brtonigla has

been hosting the Istrian Malvasia Fest in honour of the Queen of Wine, as

Malvasia is known. This food and wine festival, a mix of taste, tradition and

entertainment takes place every year in July. There is more information about

this year’s Istrian Malvasia Fest on: www.coloursofistria.com.

For those of you who want more, we invite you to visit Istria at the end of

May, as the last week of the month is reserved for the “Wine Day” - the

day when Istrian winemakers open the doors of their cellars to the public

(more on: www.istria-gourmet.com).

You can find more information and the list of winemakers on the website

www.istria-gourmet.com and in the Istria Gourmet brochure.

If you would like to experience something special, visit Momjan, a small

picturesque village in the northwest of the peninsula.

At 275m above sea level, the village offers stunning views of the Alps and

Dolomites from one end and lush greenery of undisturbed nature and a

beautiful sea panorama from the other.

The history of Momjan reaches far back to 1035, and the spirit of history

follows you wherever you go. What makes Momjan so irresistible is by all

means Momjan Muscat.

It is a white grape variety that grows in only some of the Momjan vineyards,

mostly on the hills from Oskoruš to St. Ivan near Merišće, at 200-350m above

sea level, in the sub-Mediterranean climate.

Over the centuries, thanks to the special features of the local climate and soil,

Muscat has attained almost perfect characteristics. As well as the traditional

production method still used by a few families in Merišće, in more recent

times a modern production method has gained a foothold. Many Istrian wine

connoisseurs would give Momjan Muscat top marks for its golden colour,

its intense scent of wild carnations and exquisite aroma. Dry and sweet, it

goes well with sweets and many other delicacies. Aphrodisiac properties

have been attributed to Muscat.

Due to its particularity, Momjan Muscat is also appreciated outside of Istria.

At the wine fair in Brussels in 1935 Muscat won a gold medal, and it was

readily enjoyed at the royal courts of Franz Joseph in Vienna and King Em-

manuel III in Rome. If emperors enjoyed Momjan muscat, you should too!

You can find more information and the list of winemakers on the website

www.istria-gourmet.com and in the Istria Gourmet brochure.

The hard work of peasants and natural selection over the centuries are finally

being appreciated in a unique gastronomic sense.

Whilst in the past, the traditional breed of Istrian ox - the Boškarin - worked

in the fields alongside the peasants, dragging stones for building houses and

walls, and ate modestly due to the poor grazing conditions, providing the

little milk needed for each family, today its meat is the source of regional

gastronomic delicacies.

The tradition of tastes returning to the kitchens of renowned restaurants and

to the centre of attention of top gastronomes enriches what Istria has to

offer, revitalising old customs in preparing food with the gorgeous aromas

that used to spread in the old days from the rural homes in the inland part

of the peninsula.

Boiled or sautéed, or baked under an iron bell (“pod pekom”, the traditional

method which involves the slow cooking of food, placed on an earthen

platter, covered with an iron bell and then surrounded by very hot embers),

prepared as a sauce with “fuži” pasta or gnocchi, marinated in home-made

olive oil or aromatized with wild plants... these are just some of the ways

to prepare this unique meat from our ancestors’ kitchen. The expression

“home-cooked” these days has become magical, truly describing the meat

of the Istrian ox, and awakens nostalgia, arouses your senses and makes

your stay in Istria even more special!

What is a truffle? Gastronomes still cannot agree if it is a type of food or a

type of spice, but they are positive about one thing – truffles are the peak

of gastronomy.

It is a strange and mysterious bulb hidden in the ground with no stem above

and it can only be found with the help of specially trained dogs or pigs.

In Istria there are three kinds of soil – red in the coastal area, white around

the Učka Mountain and grey in the inland. There, in the moist, grey dirt

grows the truffle, and the area in which it grows spreads from the valley of

the River Mirna to the Ćićarija Mountain in the north, and from the town of

Pazin and to Raški Zaljev (bay) in the south.

This strange and unsightly bulb, famous as an aphrodisiac, with its intense

and unique fragrance, has remained the inviolable king of cuisine from

ancient Roman times to the present day. The truffle is always an inexhaust-

ible source of culinary achievements, from appetizers and salads to main

dishes and desserts.

The Istrian white truffle is one of the most prized in the world. It matures

in autumn and is best eaten freshly picked, in the authentic setting of our

taverns and restaurants. As well as white truffles, which are the most prized

and expensive truffles (Tuber magnatum), maturing from mid-September

until the end of January, in Istria we may also find numerous species of black

truffle which mature almost throughout the entire year.

On our White Truffle Route we have chosen taverns and restaurants which

offer imaginative truffle-based menus combined with excellent Istrian wines,

and are outstanding in terms of the beauty of their setting and the kindness

and professionalism of their staff. Thanks to all of the above, these selected

places were awarded the designation “Original truffle - Tartufo vero” by

the Istrian Tourist Board. See more on truffles on: www.istria-gourmet.com.

Inner Istria, that likeable world of green hills and fertile valleys, provides a

fantastic backdrop for car trips into the colourful villages and locations, whose

names you probably won’t be able to pronounce, but which will startle you

with their beauty and you won’t be able to forget them. Precisely in that

inner part of Istria, diligent Istrian peasants have restored the old stone

houses of their ancestors in a traditional way, and today they welcome

their guests there, offering them traditional Istrian cuisine. Many of these

households still live off their land, offering meals made entirely of their own

products (agro-tourism), while others make a living by serving meals based

on traditional Istrian cuisine (taverns).

Traditional Istrian food is based on meat and pasta, and the most famous

meals are Istrian pršut ham, dried in the Bora wind (a local dry wind), sheep

cheese and Istrian bacon as a cold appetizer, Istrian “maneštra” (a soup

with beans, potatoes and dried meat), “fuži” (a kind of pasta), gnocchi or

ravioli (pasta) with game sauce or chicken gravy as a warm appetizer, and

veal cooked under an iron bell, or ombolo and sausages with cabbage as

a main dish. Dessert consists of traditional sweets, such as: fritule (a kind

of small donut) and kroštule (a dry sweet), or fresh fruit in season from

someone’s own garden.

For our Agrotourism route we recommend places and taverns where we

believe you will experience a real adventure of original Istrian flavours and

all the kindness and warmth of the Istrians.

Northwestern Istria gourmet guide

The word asparagus is of Greek origin and means offshoot. The whole genus

of asparagus includes over 300 species, of which Asparagus officinalis is used

as food, while some others are used as decorative plants.

Asparagus is one of the oldest wild Mediterranean cultures, and it has been

grown here since ancient times. The Egyptians used the wild asparagus which

grew along the banks of the Nile not only for food but also as offerings to

their gods, and, in the tombs of the Pharaohs pictures of it were painted

on the walls. The Greeks picked wild asparagus, and, like the Romans, they

believed it to have healing properties, so they also used it as a remedy for

insect bites and toothache. The Romans were the first to cultivate the plant,

they even knew how to preserve it by freezing: after picking it in the south,

they would transport it in carriages to the Alps, where they would keep the

shoots in the snow for up to six months, and then bring them back for major

celebrations. The Arabs believed those shoots to have aphrodisiac proper-

ties, and they are mentioned in a 16th-century love manual as stimulants

for love quests. Madame Pompadour had the same beliefs and the French

King Louis XIV had the shoots grown in greenhouses so he could have them

throughout the year.

Wild asparagus is definitively one of the most prized wild plants which flour-

ishes in Istria, and is picked from the middle of March until the end of April.

In that period “The Asparagus Days” are held in the north-western area

of Istria, when numerous restaurants and taverns offer various specialties

using this tasty and extremely healthy plant.

The peak of the manifestation is the “Šparogada” (The Asparagus Festival)

in the village of Kaštel, held in the week after Easter, the program of which

can be seen on: www.coloursofistria.com. Visit our selected restaurants

along the Wild Asparagus Route and discover why this plant is so popular

and appreciated in Istria.

'Fritaja' (fry-up) with wild asparagus (for 4 persons)

Ingredients

600 g wild asparagus

8 eggs

1 onion

100 g ‘pršut’ (prosciutto - a special form of ham)

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Preparation

Wash the asparagus, remove the lower, woody part, and break the soft stems

with the tips into shorter pieces (app. 3 cm). Heat five spoonfuls of olive oil

in a frying pan, add the chopped onion, a little salt and fry on low fire until

the onion becomes soft. Then add the prepared asparagus, add pepper and

cook for some 4 - 5 minutes (the younger the asparaguses are, the shorter

cooking time they need). Mix the eggs in a bowl, add thin strips of pršut

ham, and a very small amount of salt and pepper, mix and pour over the

asparagus. Your “fritaja” can be firm or soft. Serve.

Northwestern Istria gourmet guide

The history of Istria and its people has always been closely tied to the sea,

and the historic importance of Istrian coastal cities is noticeable in all the

elegance of their buildings and palaces. Over the last five hundred years

the sea and the beauty of the Istrian coast have contributed to Istria’s rapid

development into one of the leading tourism regions on the Mediterranean.

Thanks to the clean seawater, rocky coastline and sandy seabed of the open

sea off Istria’s shores, the sea area is rich in fish and other sea food. It is the

combination of traditional fishing, the wealth of the sea and tourism that

have led to the boom in gastronomy in the coastal area, so today there is

a number of supreme restaurants that will provide you with unforgettable

gastronomic experiences, based on fresh fish and sea food, combined of

course with supreme Istrian wines and extra virgin olive oil.

Try supreme fish, prepared “salted” or baked in the oven with potatoes, or, why

not raw with a little lemon juice and olive oil prepared right in front of you?

Enjoy your sea food risotto or a combination of shrimps and wild asparagus,

raw oysters from the Lim Bay or Channel, grilled shrimps or buzara, and for

a cold appetizer, an outstanding crab or octopus salad, or simply raw shrimp

tails with a glass of refreshing Istrian Malvasia.

White sole is a veritable delicacy of especially high quality in the area of

north-western Istria. The catch of local fishermen is the basis of both the

traditional cuisine of the region and the dishes prepared by sophisticated

culinary artists.

For all fish and sea food fans there is a gastronomic event called “Sole Fish

Days” held in the northwest of Istria from the second half of October until

mid-November, when it is possible to enjoy this extraordinary fish prepared

in the widest various of ways in specially selected restaurants and taverns.

You can find out how to prepare sole dishes in various ways by consulting

the book: “Sole, delicious sole” written by Mrs Rosetta Martinčić Zancola,

owner of the Maruzza Restaurant.

320 g spaghettini noodles

1 clove of garlic

1 spoonful of minced parsley

1 dl extra-virgin olive oil

1 dl white wine (Malvasia from Istria)

Salt

Red pepper

Northwestern Istria gourmet guide

Istrian fishermen used to say that, “There are no squids until your hands

freeze”. Once the agricultural season was over, people would go squid fishing

in the shallow bays of Savudrija, Umag, Novigrad and other fishing ports

of north-western Istria, known for their rich fishing tradition from ancient

times. The little predators were patiently hunted with ingenious baits, while

children tried their luck with butterfly nets from the shore.

Its first known name – calamari – comes from the ancient Greeks. Although

the name became common throughout the Roman Empire, the Croatian

term “lignja” is derived from the Latin “loligo”. The Greeks, Byzantines and

the Venetians who ruled the Istrian shores for over 500 years, also came

up with the first recipes, and squid is now synonymous with a fast seafood

meal throughout the world.

The restaurants have them on their menus 365 days a year, but nothing

compares to the fresh squids from the Adriatic. The clean waters of the

Adriatic, with above average salt content, give them an authentic flavour,

best noticed during winter, when the squids are young and prefer the shal-

low bays of the northern Adriatic, where food abounds.

To help you enjoy the taste of the Adriatic squid, north-western Istria has

dedicated an entire event to this arthropod. During the “Adriatic Squid Days”,

from December until the beginning of January, restaurants and taverns will

offer menus with this tasty seafood at reasonable prices, paired with local

wines and olive oils of global renown.

Order grilled “baby“ squids or larger samples in stew, enjoy creamy black

risottos and, if you are after that authentic taste we owe to generations

of caring housewives, opt for Istrian stuffed squids, with thinly sliced pork

shoulder meat, prosciutto, rice, sheep cheese and Mediterranean herbs.

Northwestern Istria gourmet guide

Istrian shellfish: scallops, mussels, Venus shells, Noah’s arks, queen scallops

and oysters, are a special experience for the sophisticated palate. Best during

winter, their light but full flavour derives from a seabed abounding with life,

the clean sea, the stony and sandy bottom in the depths of the indented

Istrian shoreline. Wild-grown and cultivated seafood are equally delectable,

and the shell cultivation tradition can be traced back to antiquity.

Don’t miss the pleasure of premium scallops characteristic of the area, freshly

harvested from the sea in the vicinity of a fresh water source, primarily by

the estuary of the River Mirna, off the western coast of Istria. You can taste

shellfish prepared in the old tradition of the fishermen – in a stewed savoury

sauce with garlic, parsley, tomatoes, grilled, baked or even raw, seasoned

with local extra virgin olive oil and a drop of lemon.

Or you can go a step further, taking the suggestions of culinary masters, by

sophisticatedly combining the shellfish with risottos and homemade pasta.

Regardless of the recipe of your choice, be prepared for an unforgettable

gastronomic experience completed with the premium Istrian wines and extra

virgin olive oil the region is renowned for far and wide.

The Istrian “Shellfish Days”, organized by the tourist boards of Umag,

Novigrad, Brtonigla and Buje, during February and March, in north-western

Istria, are a great opportunity for such an experience. Numerous local top

quality restaurants and atmospheric taverns will prepare special menus with

a minimum of four shellfish-based dishes to be offered at favourable prices.
