ENJOYMENT OF ALL THE SENSES

Since this part of the littoral region is the meeting point of several geographical areas, its cuisine has also developed from the combination of the coastal and Velebit traditions. The maritime cuisine is based on fish and shellfish, vegetables, lamb and wine, while the mountainous area is renowned for its game specialities, Krasno cheese, potatoes, sauerkraut, fruits of the woods, Velebit honey and Velebit travarica (herb-flavoured brandy). Instead of recomending what is best for you, let us just emphasise that all the ingredients come either straight from the clean sea or from untainted soils, and that the lamb and game graze on a sweet-scented combination of mountain grass and aromatic, seafoam-salted herbs.
