Introduction<br />

<strong>Istria</strong><br />

<strong>Northwestern</strong> <strong>Istria</strong><br />

<strong>Istria</strong>, this magical and diverse miniature world is also the largest peninsula<br />

on the Adriatic Sea, located at the base of the Alps.<br />

On a relatively small space you will find a plethora of green fields and<br />

hills, vineyards and olive groves, as well as seaside towns rich in historical<br />

and cultural heritage. In the continental parts of the <strong>Istria</strong>n peninsula there<br />

are dotted medieval towns located on hilltops and surrounded by mighty<br />

defensive walls. For some decades now, <strong>Istria</strong> became well known as a<br />

tourist destination with tame beaches, pleasant climate and crystal clear<br />

sea. <strong>Istria</strong> is a region increasingly discovered by a number of visitors as a<br />

destination with excellent hotels, top notch wines and olive oils, numerous<br />

restaurants and rural tourism.<br />

In short, <strong>Istria</strong> is a treasure chest full of diverse beauty and <strong>gourmet</strong><br />

food right, not too far from major European cities. With the aid of this<br />

booklet, we will help you to get to know the region and the people of the<br />

northwest <strong>Istria</strong>.<br />

<strong>Northwestern</strong> <strong>Istria</strong> spans between the Slovenian border in the north and<br />

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

from the mainly flatland portion located near the shore, ruled mainly by<br />

shrubland and fertile arable fields, to the tame green hills. These are<br />

excellent lookouts with streams and small rivers, meandering all the way<br />

to the fertile valley of the river Mirna.<br />

Traces of a rich historical heritage are present at numerous sites. The<br />

medieval town of Grožnjan, famous for its extraordinary beauty is one of<br />

the most interesting, also famous for its numerous artists’ colonies and<br />

events held here during the summer. In addition, towns of Brtonigla and<br />

Momjan are famous for their wine making traditions; Umag, the town of<br />

tennis, and Savudrija the place most connected with the sea and fishing.<br />

Moreover, the town of Novigrad is worth noting with its perfectly preserved<br />

defensive walls and the city hall located right next to the sea, as well as<br />

Buje, known for its olive groves as the “oil town”.<br />

The preservation<br />

of historic sites and<br />

the environment<br />

Here in <strong>Istria</strong> we are very proud of the cleanliness of our environment,<br />

which you can witness every step of the way. A great ecological event<br />

named “Neka moja <strong>Istria</strong> blista” (Let my <strong>Istria</strong> shine) is organized by the<br />

regional tourist board. The event’s duration is 3 months during which<br />

the board organises the removal of bulky waste and scrap material, as<br />

well as workshops for children where they learn how to protect and care<br />

for the environment.<br />

Help us keep the environment clean for future generations. We also<br />

kindly ask you to not leave litter at the historical sites during your visits.<br />

Olive, one of the most durable trees and the symbol of the Mediterranean,<br />

has been grown here for centuries. <strong>Istria</strong>n olive oil has been appreciated<br />

since the Ancient Romans who considered it a delicacy of exceptional<br />

quality, as shown in the written records from the first century AD. It is<br />

slightly bitter when tasted, has an intense scent and is a unsurpassed<br />

condiment for the best of meals. Olive oil is the most valuable oil in the<br />

human diet, also used to cure many health problems, and is, according to<br />

few, an elixir of life itself.<br />

Today, the <strong>Istria</strong>n olive oil is once again in its rightful place; the the world’s<br />

top. According to the renowned <strong>guide</strong> for extra virgin oils “L’ extravergine”<br />

the <strong>Istria</strong>n olive oil is, for the fifth year in a row, amongst the top fifteen of<br />

the best rated olive oils in the world.<br />

On our olive oil route you have a unique opportunity to see colourful olive<br />

groves situated on cascading hill slopes perfectly incorporated in the<br />

landscape. You will also have the opportunity to learn the techniques of<br />

olive growth and the manufacturing of extra virgin oil, and also, in the<br />

unique and original ambience of our oil pressing facilities, to try and buy<br />

some of the best <strong>Istria</strong>n oils. In this way, you can take the genuine flavours<br />

of <strong>Istria</strong> home with you.<br />

Teran is a very old grape variety, one of the most distributed red grape variety<br />

in <strong>Istria</strong>. According to the available written records, teran was first mentioned<br />

600 years ago. It was written that teran was used as a gift to emperor’s ambassadors<br />

in 1390, who were given 20 ceramic bottles, after that, in 1408<br />

teran was given as a gift to the ambassador of Mlet, and in 1411 the ambassador<br />

of Austria. These facts certainly add to the value and quality of this<br />

istrian red wine. The first description of teran comes from the <strong>Istria</strong>n agronomist<br />

Petar Stanković in 1825, while in the local professional literature teran<br />

has been discussed for around 180 years.<br />

Just a few years ago, teran was much more bitter in taste than today, but the<br />

istrian winemakers managed to considerably lower its acerbity by balancing<br />

modern technology and traditional processes in order to decrease the apple<br />

acid in the wine, giving it a whole new quality.<br />

We are sure that the modern teran, best examples of can be found here in<br />

north-western <strong>Istria</strong> on our <strong>Istria</strong>n Teran Route, will be appreciated by many.<br />

Teran has a characteristic ruby red color which puts on a purple tint if gyrated<br />

in a glass. The aroma is pleasant, emphasized and easily recognizable, the<br />

typical fruity character dominated by the scent of raspberry. The relatively<br />

high content of acids and a certain degree of acidity fitted in a high extract<br />

percentage, gives this wine its characteristic taste which is full, strong and robust,<br />

but at the same time complete. Because it is well rounded and contains<br />

a high antioxidant count, it is considered to have health benefits.<br />

Malvasia, which name comes from the Greek city Monamvasia (located<br />

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

believed that Venetian wine traders brought it to <strong>Istria</strong> in the 14th century.<br />

When talking about malvasia, we usually refer to a white grape variety,<br />

although there is malvasia nera (red variety) grown mostly in the Italian<br />

regions of Piemonte and Puglia. Today, the most famous variations are<br />

the white malvasia from Italy, specifically Malvasia Bianca del Chianti,<br />

Malvasia del Lazio, Malvasia delle Lipari, Malvasia di Candia, Malvasia di<br />

Sardegna, and of course, Malvasia <strong>Istria</strong>na.<br />

Malvasia became very popular in <strong>Istria</strong> around the nineteen thirties and<br />

forties, and it is the dominant amongst the white grape varieties. Due to<br />

the fact that the manufacturing technique for producing malvasia was the<br />

same as for the red wine, its characteristics used to be poorly exposed.<br />

Malvasia produced using such a technique used to have a brownish tint<br />

and virtually no scent, a very few fruity and flowery aromas and it lacked<br />

freshness. In short, it was an average wine and its aroma was mostly<br />

dominated by the alcohol content.<br />

During the eighties things started to change for the better. A handful of young<br />

istrian winemakers started manufacturing malvasia in a technologically<br />

more advanced way, and in the nineties a small revolution in winemaking<br />

technology occurred as more and more winemakers start using modern<br />

techniques and production processes of white wine.<br />

The confirmation of the exceptional quality arrived in 1998 at the International<br />

wine fair “Vinovita” in Zagreb when the <strong>Istria</strong>n malvasia by the Kozlović family<br />

was awarded the title: The Best White Wine in Croatia. In accordance with<br />

the world trend of increased popularity of native varieties, the interest in<br />

the <strong>Istria</strong>n malvasia is increasing interesting and it is an appreciated wine<br />

even outside <strong>Istria</strong>. Its emphasized alcohol content and extract richness<br />

combined with moderate and lower percentage of acids makes malvasia<br />

a rich and full-tasting wine. It is so discreet, flowery and fruity that many<br />

people say it resembles the scent of the acacia flower. The fruity aromas<br />

are most often dominated by apple and plum, and in a ripe wine you can<br />

also taste a hint of bitter almond.<br />

It is important to know that the cradle of malvasia in <strong>Istria</strong> is Brtonigla, also<br />

known as the City of Wine. For 25 years now, a festival is held in Brtonigla<br />

named “The Festival of <strong>Istria</strong>n Malvasia” in honour of the “Queen of wine” - a<br />

local nickname for malvasia. It is held every year in mid July and lasts for a<br />

week. The program and events can be looked up at www.tzo-brtonigla.hr.<br />

North-western <strong>Istria</strong> is now leading in terms of new technologies in wine<br />

making so it is no surprise this is where the majority of renowned wine<br />

makers of malvasia are located. We encourage you to visit their modern<br />

wine cellars and to try their top notch wines.<br />

For those of you who want more, we invite you to visit <strong>Istria</strong> at the end<br />

of May as the last week of the month is reserved for the “Wine day” - the<br />

day when <strong>Istria</strong>n wine makers open the doors of their cellars for the public<br />

(more on www.istria-<strong>gourmet</strong>.com).<br />

If you would like to experience something special, visit Momjan, a small<br />

picturesque village in the northwest of the peninsula.<br />

At 275m above the sea level, the village offers stunning views of the Alps<br />

and Dolomites on one end and lush greenery of undisturbed nature and a<br />

beautiful sea panorama on the other.<br />

The history of Momjan reaches far back to 1035, and the spirit of history<br />

follows you wherever you go. What makes Momjan so irresistible is by all<br />

means the Momjan Muscat. It is a white grape variety that grows on a<br />

limited part of the Momjan vineyards, mostly on the hills from Oskoruš to<br />

St. Ivan near Merišće at 200-350m above the sea level in the submediterranean<br />

climate.<br />

Over the centuries, thanks to the special features of the local climate and<br />

soil, the muscat gained almost perfect characteristics. As well as the traditional<br />

production method still utilized by a few families in Merišće, in more<br />

recent times a modern production method gained a foothold. Many istrian<br />

wine connoisseurs would place the Momjan muscat at the top because of<br />

its golden colour, intense scent of wild carnations and exquisite aroma. Dry<br />

and sweet, it goes well with sweets and many other delicacies. Aphrodisiac<br />

properties have been attributed to the Muscat.<br />

Due to its particularity, the Momjan Muscat is also appreciated outside of<br />

<strong>Istria</strong>. At the wine fair in Bruxelles in 1935 the muscat won a golden medal,<br />

and it was readily enjoyed at the royal court of Franz Joseph in Vienna and<br />

King Emmanuel III in Rome.<br />

The hard work of peasants and the natural selection through the centuries<br />

has finally been valorized in a unique gastronimical way.<br />

While in the past the heritage breed of istrian oxen - the boškarin - worked<br />

in the fields along the peasants, dragged stones for building houses and<br />

walls, ate modestly due to poor grazing conditions and provided the little<br />

milk needed for each family, today its meet is the source of regional<br />

gastronomical delicacies.<br />

The tradition of tastes returning to the kitchens of renowned restaurants<br />

and to the centre of attention of top gastronomes enriches what <strong>Istria</strong> has<br />

to offer, revitalising old food-preparation customs with gorgeous smells<br />

that in the old days used to spread from the rural homes of the inland part<br />

of the peninsula.<br />

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

involves slow cooking of food placed on an earthen platter, covered with the<br />

iron dome and then surrounded by very hot embers, prepared as a sauce<br />

for the fuži or gnocchi, marinated in home-made olive oil or aromatized<br />

with wild plants,...these are just some of the ways to prepare this unique<br />

meet from the kitchen of our ancestors. The expression “home-cooked”,<br />

which becomes magical these days, truly describes the meet of the <strong>Istria</strong>n<br />

oxen, awakens nostalgia as well as perks up the senses and makes your<br />

stay in <strong>Istria</strong> even more special!<br />

The word asparagus is of greek origin and means scion. The whole genus<br />

of asparaguses includes over 300 species, from which the mentioned<br />

Asparagus officinalis is a delicacy, while some others are used as decorative<br />

plants.<br />

Asparagus is one of the oldest wild Mediterranean cultures, and it was<br />

grown here since the old ages. The Egyptians used the wild asparagus<br />

which grew along the Nile’s banks not only for food but also as offerings<br />

to their gods, and, in the pharaoh tombs, pictures of it were painted onto<br />

the walls. The Greeks picked wild asparagus, and, as the Romans, they<br />

believed it to have curative properties, so in addition they used it as a<br />

remedy for insect bites and toothache. The Romans were the first to<br />

cultivate the plant, they even knew how to preserve it frozen: after picking<br />

it in the south, they would transport it in carriages to the Alps, where they<br />

would keep the scions in the snow for up to six months, and then bring<br />

them back for big celebrations. The Arabs believed those scions to have<br />

aphrodisiac effects, and they mention them in a 16th-century love manual<br />

as stimulants for love quests. Madame Pompadour had the same beliefs<br />

and the French king Louis the XIV had the scions grown in greenhouses<br />

so he could have them throughout the year.<br />

Wild asparagus is definitively one of the most appreciated wild-grown<br />

cultures which flourishes in <strong>Istria</strong>, and is picked from the middle of March<br />

till the end of April. In that period in the north-western area of <strong>Istria</strong> “The<br />

days of Asparagus” are held, when numerous restaurants and taverns offer<br />

various specialties with this tasty and extremely healthy plant. The peak<br />

of the manifestation is the “Šparogada” (The Asparagus Festival) in the<br />

village of Kaštel, held in the week after Easter, and which program can be<br />

seen at www.tzg-buje.hr and www.istria-buje-buie.com. Visit our selected<br />

restaurants along The Wild Asparagus Route and discover why this plant<br />

is so popular and appreciated in <strong>Istria</strong>.<br />

'Fritaja' (fry-up) with wild asparagus<br />

(for 4 persons)<br />

Ingredients<br />

600 g of wild asparagus<br />

8 eggs<br />

1 onion<br />

100 g of ‘pršut’ (prosciutto - a special variation of ham)<br />

Olive oil<br />

Salt and pepper<br />

Preparation<br />

Wash the asparaguses, remove the lower – woody part, and break the soft stem<br />

with the tips into shorter pieces (app. 3 cm). Warm up five spoons of olive oil in<br />

a frying pan, add the chopped onion, put a little salt and stew on low fire until<br />

the onion becomes soft. Then add the prepared asparaguses, add pepper and<br />

stew on for some 4 to 5 minutes (the younger the asparaguses are the shorter<br />

stewing they need). Mix the eggs in a bowl, add thin pršut bars, add a very<br />

small amount of salt and pepper, mix and pour over the asparaguses. Choose<br />

a harder or softer fritaja and serve.<br />

What is a truffle? The gastronomes still cannot agree if it is a type of food or<br />

a type of spice, but they are positive about one thing – the truffle is the peak<br />

of gastronomy. It is a strange and mysterious bulb hidden in the ground with<br />

no stem above and it can only be found with the help of specially trained<br />

dogs or pigs.<br />

In <strong>Istria</strong> there are three kinds of dirt – red in the coastal area, white around<br />

the Učka mountain and grey in the inland. There, in the moisty grey dirt grows<br />

the truffle, and the area in which it grows spreads from the valley of the river<br />

Mirna to the mountain Ćićarija in the north, and from the town of Pazin and<br />

to Raški Zaljev (bay) in the south.<br />

'Fuži' with truffles (for 4 persons)<br />

Ingredients<br />

500 g of ‘fuži’ (noodles)<br />

20 g of white truffles<br />

20 g of black truffles<br />

80 g of butter<br />

100 ml of cooking cream<br />

This strange and unsightly bulb, famous as an aphrodisiac with intensive and<br />

unique odor, remained the inviolable king of cuisine from the antique Roman<br />

times to present day. The truffle is always an inexhaustible source of culinary<br />

achievements, from appetizers to salads and main dishes to deserts.<br />

The <strong>Istria</strong>n white truffle is one of the most appreciated in the world, it matures<br />

in autumn and is best to eat freshly picked, in the original ambience of our<br />

taverns and restaurants. Except the white, which is the most appreciated<br />

and expensive truffle (Tuber magnatum) and matures from mid-September<br />

till the end of January, in <strong>Istria</strong> we also find numerous species of the black<br />

truffle which mature nearly the entire year.<br />

Preparation<br />

Put the ‘fuži’ in hot, previously salted and oiled water and cook as per packaging<br />

instructions. Melt butter in a frying pan and leave to boil for 1-2 minutes.<br />

Remove from the stove and add thinly grated white truffles and cooked and<br />

drained noodles, then mix and put onto plates. Grate black truffles over each<br />

portion and serve.<br />

On our White Truffle Route we have chosen taverns and restaurants which<br />

offer imaginative truffle-based menus combined with excellent <strong>Istria</strong>n vines,<br />

and stand out with the beauty of environmental designs and kindness as well<br />

as professionalism of their staff. Thanks to all of the above, these selected<br />

places were given a mark “Original truffle-Tartufo vero” by the <strong>Istria</strong>n Tourist<br />

Board. See more on truffles at www.istria-<strong>gourmet</strong>.com.<br />

The history of <strong>Istria</strong> and its people has always been closely tied to the<br />

sea, and the historic meaning of <strong>Istria</strong>n coastal cities is noticeable in all<br />

the elegance of buildings and palaces within them. During the last five<br />

to a rapid development of <strong>Istria</strong> into one of the leading tourism regions<br />

in the Mediterranean. Thanks to the clean seawater, rocky coast and<br />

sandy seabed of the open sea off <strong>Istria</strong>’s shores, the aquatorium is rich<br />

with fish and other sea fruits.<br />

Try supreme fish, prepared “salted” or baked in the oven with potatoes,<br />

or – why not raw with a little lemon juice and olive oil prepared right in front<br />

of you. Enjoy your fruits of the sea risotto or a combination of shrimps and<br />

wild asparaguses, the raw oysters from the Bay of Lim, grilled shrimps or<br />

buzara, and for a cold appetizer, a remarkable crab or octopus salad, or<br />

simply raw shrimp tails with a glass of refreshing <strong>Istria</strong>n Malvasia.<br />

It is the combination of traditional fishing, the wealth of the sea and the<br />

tourism that led to the boom of gastronomy in the coastal area so today<br />

there is a number of supreme restaurants that will leave you with unforgettable<br />

gastronomic experiences based on fresh fish and sea fruits, combined<br />

of course with supreme <strong>Istria</strong>n wines and extra virgin olive oils.<br />

For all fish and sea fruit fans there is a gastronomic manifestation called<br />

“The days of the sole fish” held in the northwest of <strong>Istria</strong> from the second<br />

half of October until mid-November, when it is possible to enjoy this extraordinary<br />

fish prepared in the most various ways in specially selected<br />

restaurants (more on “The days of the sole fish” at http://www.istra.hr/<br />

umag, www.istra.hr/savudrija, www.tzo-brtonigla.hr, www.tzg-buje.hr,<br />

www.novigrad-cittanova.hr).<br />

Sole fish in graving with vegetables (for 4 persons)<br />

Ingredients<br />

4 sole filettes<br />

1 spoons of Vegeta<br />

2 spoons of olive oil<br />

1 hard boiled egg<br />

1 spoon of lemon juice<br />

300 g baby carrots<br />

200 g kale<br />

200 g broccoli<br />

2 spoons of oil<br />

1 clove of garlic<br />

2 spoons of chopped parsley leaves<br />

4 spoons of chopped fresh dill<br />

Preparation<br />

Clean the fish, dry it, sprinkle with Vegeta and place it in a pan covered<br />

with aluminum foil. Overflow the prepared fish with olive oil and bake in an<br />

oven preheated to 200°C some ten minutes. Clean the vegetables, wash<br />

and chop them, and put them in the boiling water, cooking the carrots first,<br />

and the rest of the vegetables 15 minutes later. Cook all of it for another<br />

5-10 minutes, drain and mix with oil and pressed garlic. Cut the boiled egg<br />

into small cubes and mix with lemon juice. Take the fish out of the oven,<br />

overflow with the egg-lemon mixture, and return to the oven for another<br />

few minutes to get a crust.<br />

Put the warm fish onto plates, sprinkle with kale and parsley and serve<br />

with cooked vegetables.<br />
