Recently, an article came out on Chef’s Pencil website on the most underrated destinations in the world. While it is debatable whether a few of them should be on the list, we believe Croatia is deservingly on it. As the author says it himself, our cuisine is incredibly diverse, and it was a subject of numerous historic events and effects. However, generally speaking, it is a mix of the east-meets-west dishes and some other influences.
Overall, there is a great selection of ingredients and dishes that should be on the wishlist of every foodie. Everything from the world-class Istrian olive oils and truffles, fantastic Croatian wines, and seafood, to meat and vegetable dishes of the continental Croatia. These are only a few of many intriguing aspects that make Croatian cuisine fun to explore.

In 2005, Secret Dalmatia was started from pure love for Croatia’s heritage, its incredible diversity, and beauty. We have since remained faithful to our initial mission – and are still today a boutique travel agency dedicated to showing the true, wholesome Croatia to the discerning travelers who want to experience our country and all our riches, not just see it.
A bottle of Croatian wine or rose liquor will go far in telling stories, and so will some of the praised olive oils. Keep the memory of the Adriatic alive with salt from centuries’ old pans at Ston or Pag Island or with a sample of Istria’s famed truffles. Lightweight travelers should consider typical spices like lavender or rosemary, herbal teas or candied orange peels and almonds.
