Thanks to the quality, seasonal local ingredients, the abundance of seafood, and excellent wines, the island of Korčula also attracts lovers of gastronomy. Dishes with Žrnov macaroons, Korčula pašticada with homemade gnocchi, seafood risotto, brodet and other local fish and meat dishes are unavoidable.
The tastiest bites are seasoned with Korčula olive oil, the top quality of which is confirmed by the prestigious Protected Designation of Origin and Protected Designation of Geographical Origin at the level of the European Union since 2016. Olive oil tasting rooms are certainly the right choice for devotees of a healthy lifestyle.
Fertile fields, a mild climate and an abundance of seafood have created imaginative dishes from ingredients close at hand. At sunset, relax with a glass of top-quality wine of the autochthonous variety Pošip or Greek rukatac, which are ideally combined with traditional meat or seafood dishes.
Taste prosecco, a dessert wine that is traditionally produced in Dalmatia and on the islands from dried grapes of autochthonous varieties, as well as fragrant brandy made from herbs, carob and rose.
Don't miss tasting the traditional Korčula sweets that will win your hearts; klashuns, cucarinas, rosata, bruštulan almonds, arancina, cheeses, lumblia and lojenica.
