The area of Bjelovar-Bilogora County resembles a vast ecological tapestry casually adorned with open spaces, gently leaning against the mild slopes of Bilogora, Papuk, and Moslavina Mountains. It features serene fields, cultivated lands, forests and groves, vineyards and orchards, rivers, lakes, and fishponds, all intricately intertwined with numerous pathways, creating picturesque villages.
The food prepared here for centuries over open fires in iron cauldrons or clay pots, in bread ovens and small stoves, captivates with its simplicity and exceptional ingenuity in using ingredients that impart refinement and unique flavors and aromas to the dishes. Traditional dishes from this region still exude the freshness and clarity of the pristine nature from which their main ingredients originate. With their enchanting aromas, they beckon to the table, whether it's cornmeal mush with sour milk, boiled pork with cabbage or turnips, roasted suckling pig with bean and potato salad, pork stew with vegetables, simple corn cake with plum jam, or the festive Bilogorje roll cake.
These refined flavors and aromas, simplicity, and the charm of dining in a natural setting create a special experience. Pairing this experience with the enjoyment of a rich selection of wines from the Bilogora and Daruvar wine roads elevates satisfaction to a sublime level. Seek this pleasure and experience it confidently in selected establishments recognized for adhering to the standards of Croatian Traditional Flavors – Tastes of Bjelovar-Bilogora County.
Enjoy your meal!
