Northwestern Istria

Northwestern Istria spans between the Slovenian border in the north and

river Mirna in the south. Here we can find a large variety of natural riches;

from the mainly flatland portion located near the shore, ruled mainly by

shrubland and fertile arable fields, to the tame green hills. These are excel-

lent lookouts with streams and small rivers, meandering all the way to the

fertile valley of the river Mirna.

Traces of a rich historical heritage are present at numerous sites. The me-

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

most interesting, also famous for its numerous artists’ colonies and events

held here during the summer. In addition, towns of Brtonigla and Momjan

are famous for their wine making traditions; Umag, the town of tennis, and

Savudrija the place most connected with the sea and fishing. Moreover, the

town of Novigrad is worth noting with its perfectly preserved defensive

walls and the city hall located right next to the sea, as well as Buje, known

for its olive groves as the “oil town”.

Introduction

Istria

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

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

On a relatively small space 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 dotted medieval towns located on hilltops and surrounded by mighty

defensive walls. For some decades now, Istria became well known as a

tourist destination with tame beaches, pleasant climate and crystal clear

sea. Istria is a region increasingly discovered by a number of visitors as a

destination with excellent hotels, top notch wines and olive oils, numerous

restaurants and rural tourism.

In short, Istria is a treasure chest full of diverse beauty and gourmet food

right, 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 the north-

west Istria.

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

which you can witness every step of the way. A great ecological event

named “Neka moja Istria blista” (Let my Istria shine) is organized by the

regional tourist board. The event’s duration is 3 months during which the

board organises the removal of bulky waste and scrap material, as well as

workshops for children where they learn how to protect and care for the

environment.

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

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

The gastronomical itinerary of north-western Istria

The north-western region of Istria, thanks to its diverse natural riches on

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

tion with an exquisite gastronomical experience. The region offers a fish

rich shore and inland hills filled with truffles and wild flora. In order to

help you plan your visit and select from an array of bars and taverns,

we offer you nine gastronomical routes which contain the best of north-

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

wish to try preparing our specialties at home.

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

variety in Istria. According to the available written records, teran was first

mentioned 600 years ago. It was written that teran was used as a gift to

emperor’s ambassadors in 1390, who were given 20 ceramic bottles, after

that, in 1408 teran was given as a gift to the ambassador of Mlet, and in

1411 the ambassador of Austria. These facts certainly add to the value and

quality of this istrian red wine. The first description of teran comes from the

Istrian agronomist Petar Stanković in 1825, while in the local professional

literature teran has been discussed for around 180 years.

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

the istrian winemakers managed to considerably lower its acerbity by bal-

ancing modern technology and traditional processes in order to decrease

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

We are sure that the modern teran, best examples of can be found here

in north-western Istria on our Istrian Teran Route, will be appreciated by

many. Teran has a characteristic ruby red color which puts on a purple tint if

gyrated in a glass. The aroma is pleasant, emphasized and easily recogniz-

able, the typical fruity character dominated by the scent of raspberry. The

relatively high content of acids and a certain degree of acidity fitted in a

high extract percentage, gives this wine its characteristic taste which is

full, strong and robust, but at the same time complete. Because it is well

rounded and contains a high antioxidant count, it is considered to have

health benefits.

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

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

since the Ancient Romans who considered it a delicacy of exceptional qual-

ity, as shown in the written records from the first century AD. It is slightly

bitter when tasted, has an intense scent and is a unsurpassed condiment

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 few, an elixir

of life itself.

Today, the Istrian olive oil is once again in its rightful place; the the world’s

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

the Istrian olive oil is, for the fifth year in a row, amongst the top fifteen of

the 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 in the land-

scape. You will also have the opportunity to learn the techniques of olive

growth and the manufacturing of extra virgin oil, and also, in the unique

and original ambience of our oil pressing facilities, to try and buy some of

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

home with you.

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

Malvasia wine in the region of Istria. More than 30 years Brtonigla has been

hosting the Istrian Malvasia Fest in honour of the Queen of wine, named

used for Malvasia. This oenogastronomic event, a mix of taste, tradition and

entertainment is taking place every year in July. 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 wine makers open the doors of their cellars for the public

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

Malvasia, which name comes from the Greek city Monamvasia (located

on Peloponnese peninsula), is a grape variety at least 2000 years old. It is

believed that Venetian wine traders brought it to Istria in the 14th century.

When talking about malvasia, we usually refer to a white grape variety,

although there is malvasia nera (red variety) grown mostly in the Italian

regions of Piemonte and Puglia. Today, the most famous variations 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 around the nineteen thirties and for-

ties, and it is the dominant amongst the white grape varieties. Due to the

fact that the manufacturing technique for producing malvasia was the same

as for the red wine, its characteristics used to be poorly exposed. Malvasia

produced using such a technique used to have a brownish tint and virtually

no scent, a very few fruity and flowery aromas and it lacked freshness. In

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

alcohol content.

During the eighties things started to change for the better. A handful of

young istrian winemakers started manufacturing malvasia in a technologically

more advanced way, and in the nineties a small revolution in winemaking

technology occurred as more and more winemakers start using modern

techniques and production processes of white wine.

The confirmation of the exceptional quality arrived in 1998 at the International

wine fair “Vinovita” in Zagreb when the Istrian malvasia by the Kozlović

family was awarded the title: The Best White Wine in Croatia. In accordance

with the world trend of increased popularity of native varieties, the inter-

est in the Istrian malvasia is increasing interesting and it is an appreciated

wine even outside Istria. Its emphasized alcohol content and extract richness

combined with moderate and lower percentage of acids 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 hard work of peasants and the natural selection through the centuries

has finally been valorized in a unique gastronimical way.

While in the past the heritage breed of istrian oxen - the boškarin - worked

in the fields along the peasants, dragged stones for building houses and

walls, ate modestly due to poor grazing conditions and provided the little

milk needed for each family, today its meet is the source of regional gas-

tronomical 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 food-preparation customs with gorgeous smells

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

of the peninsula.

Boiled or sautéed, baked under the “iron bell” - a traditional method which

involves slow cooking of food placed on an earthen platter, covered with the

iron dome and then surrounded by very hot embers, prepared as a sauce for

the fuži or gnocchi, marinated in home-made olive oil or aromatized with

wild plants,...these are just some of the ways to prepare this unique meet

from the kitchen of our ancestors. The expression “home-cooked”, which

becomes magical these days, truly describes the meet of the Istrian oxen,

awakens nostalgia as well as perks up the senses and makes your stay in

Istria even more special!

Enogastronomical itineraries

The Native Istrian Oxen Route (The Boškarin Route)

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

picturesque village in the northwest of the peninsula.

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

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

beautiful sea panorama on 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 the

Momjan Muscat. It is a white grape variety that grows on a limited part of the

Momjan vineyards, mostly on the hills from Oskoruš to St. Ivan near Merišće

at 200-350m above the sea level in the submediterranean climate.

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

soil, the muscat gained almost perfect characteristics. As well as the tradi-

tional production method still utilized by a few families in Merišće, in more

recent times a modern production method gained a footahold. Many istrian

wine connoisseurs would place the Momjan muscat at the top because of

its golden colour, 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 the Muscat.

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

Istria. At the wine fair in Bruxelles in 1935 the muscat won a golden medal,

and it was readily enjoyed at the royal court of Franz Joseph in Vienna and

King Emmanuel III in Rome.

If the emperors enjoyed the Momjan muscat, you should too!

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

Ingredients

600 g of wild asparagus

8 eggs

1 onion

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

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Preparation

Wash the asparaguses, remove the lower – woody part, and break the soft

stem with the tips into shorter pieces (app. 3 cm). Warm up five spoons of

olive oil in a frying pan, add the chopped onion, put a little salt and stew on

low fire until the onion becomes soft. Then add the prepared asparaguses,

add pepper and stew on for some 4 to 5 minutes (the younger the aspara-

guses are the shorter stewing they need). Mix the eggs in a bowl, add thin

pršut bars, add a very small amount of salt and pepper, mix and pour over

the asparaguses. Choose a harder or softer fritaja and serve.

RECIPES OF THE ISTRIAN KITCHEN

The word asparagus is of greek origin and means scion. The whole genus of

asparaguses includes over 300 species, from which the mentioned Asparagus

officinalis is a delicacy, while some others are used as decorative plants.

Asparagus is one of the oldest wild Mediterranean cultures, and it was grown

here since the old ages. The Egyptians used the wild asparagus which grew

along the Nile’s banks not only for food but also as offerings to their gods,

and, in the pharaoh tombs, pictures of it were painted onto the walls. The

Greeks picked wild asparagus, and, as the Romans, they believed it to have

curative properties, so in addition they 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 frozen: after picking it in the south, they would

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

snow for up to six months, and then bring them back for big celebrations. The

Arabs believed those scions to have aphrodisiac effects, and they mention

them in a 16th-century love manual as stimulants for love quests. Madame

Pompadour had the same beliefs and the French king Louis the XIV had the

scions grown in greenhouses so he could have them throughout the year.

Wild asparagus is definitively one of the most appreciated wild-grown

cultures which flourishes in Istria, and is picked from the middle of March

till the end of April. In that period in the north-western area of Istria “The

days of Asparagus” are held, when numerous restaurants and taverns offer

various specialties with 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, and which program can

be seen at www.coloursofistria.com. Visit our selected restaurants along

The Wild Asparagus Route and discover why this plant is so popular and

appreciated in Istria.

80 g of butter

100 ml of cooking cream

Salt and pepper

RECIPES OF THE ISTRIAN KITCHEN

What is a truffle? The gastronomes still cannot agree if it is a type of food

or a type of spice, but they are positive about one thing – the truffle is 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 dirt – red in the coastal area, white around

the Učka mountain and grey in the inland. There, in the moisty grey dirt

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

the river Mirna to the mountain Ćićarija 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 intensive and

unique odor, remained the inviolable king of cuisine from the antique Roman

times to present day. The truffle is always an inexhaustible source of culinary

achievements, from appetizers to salads and main dishes to deserts.

The Istrian white truffle is one of the most appreciated in the world, it matures

in autumn and is best to eat freshly picked, in the original ambience of our

taverns and restaurants. Except the white, which is the most appreciated

and expensive truffle (Tuber magnatum) and matures from mid-September

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

truffle which mature nearly the entire year.

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

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

and stand out with the beauty of environmental designs and kindness as well

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

places were given a mark “Original truffle-Tartufo vero” by the Istrian Tourist

Board. See more on truffles at www.istria-gourmet.com.

RECIPES OF THE ISTRIAN KITCHEN

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

the historic meaning of Istrian coastal cities is noticeable in all the elegance

of buildings and palaces within them. During the last five hundred years the

sea and the beauty of the Istrian coast contributed to a rapid development of

Istria into one of the leading tourism regions in the Mediterranean. Thanks to

the clean seawater, rocky coast and sandy seabed of the open sea off Istria’s

shores, the aquatorium is rich with fish and other sea fruits.

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 fruits of the sea risotto or a combination of shrimps

and wild asparaguses, the raw oysters from the Bay of Lim, grilled shrimps

or buzara, and for a cold appetizer, a remarkable crab or octopus salad, or

simply raw shrimp tails with a glass of refreshing Istrian Malvasia.

It is the combination of traditional fishing, the wealth of the sea and the

tourism that led to the boom of gastronomy in the coastal area so today there

is a number of supreme restaurants that will leave you with unforgettable

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

course with supreme Istrian wines and extra virgin olive oils.

For all fish and sea fruit 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 most various ways in specially selected restaurants. You can find out

how to prepare solfe fish dishes in various ways by consulting the book “Sole

fish, delicious sole fish” written by Mrs Rosetta Martincic Zancola, owner

of the Restaurant Maruzza.

onions. As the onions start to acquire a golden color add the meat and fry

on a low fire for five minutes. Add chopped garlic and mashed tomatoes. Fry

an add water when needed. Add crumbed laurel leafs and rosemary. Add

some salt and pepper in it. Fry until the meat softens. When almost finished

Ingredients for preparing the gnocchi600 g potatoes

2 eggs

200 g flour (more if needed)

a spoon of grease (or margarine)

a little bit of oil

salt

PreparationWash potatoes with the peel still on and cook them. Peel the cooked potatoes and mash them onto a table or surface on which you will prepare the gnocchi. Add eggs, salt, grease, oil and flour to the mashed potatoes and knead the dough. Roll the dough into long “sausages” and then cut to pieces of 2-3 cm in length.Put the gnocchi into salted boiling water and cook until they rise to the surface. Take them out with a scoop and serve poured with the already prepared stew.

ReCIPeS OF The ISTRIAN kITCheN

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

fantastic backdrop for car trips into the colourful villages and places, which

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 renewed the old stone houses

of their ancestors in a traditional way, and today they host their guests in

them, offering them products of traditional Istrian cuisine. Many of those

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

own products (agrotourism), while others live of 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 dried on Bora (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 calf meat from underneath a bell,

or ombolo and sausages wit cabbage as a main dish. For desert traditional

sweets are being served, fritule (a kind of small donut) and kroštule (a dry

sweet), or, why not fresh season fruit from one’s own garden.

For our Agrotourism route we selected only the best places and taverns in

which we believe you will experience a real adventure of original Istrian

flavors and all the kindness and warmth of the Istrians.
