The sweet pastry is a traditional, Croatian Easter bread, consisting of a yeast dough made of flour, eggs and butter. The coarse-sugar-coating makes the pinca especially popular with the little ones.<\/p><p><strong>SUMMER<\/strong><\/p><p>The summers in Croatia are hot. Thus, when the temperature reaches +30 degrees Celsius, the Croatians will turn to light dishes. During the high season, such typical lighter foods include salads and fish dishes. Salata od hobotnice is a traditional octopus salad that has its origins in Dalmatia. Although there are many variations of this dish, it\u2019s most often a combination of chopped octopus, onions, garlic, bay leaves, olive oil, parsley, potatoes, salt, vinegar and tomatoes.<\/p><div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/en\/travel-lifestyle\/croatian-wine-roads-kingdom\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Croatian Wine Roads Kingdom\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/112;max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-300x224.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1024x766.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-768x575.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1536x1149.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-2048x1533.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-150x112.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-485x360.jpeg 485w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-696x521.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1068x799.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1920x1437.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-561x420.jpeg 561w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-265x198.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-600x449.jpeg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-300x224.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1024x766.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-768x575.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1536x1149.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-2048x1533.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-150x112.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-485x360.jpeg 485w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-696x521.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1068x799.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-1920x1437.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-561x420.jpeg 561w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-265x198.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1620225333206-1-600x449.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Croatian Wine Roads Kingdom<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Wine tours are quite a big deal the last couple of years.

Popular dishes among Croatians during this time of year are soups and stews, such as the Istrian Mane\u0161tra. Another must-try dish is Grah. This traditional bean stew used to be a common meal for the Croatian army as well as for poorer people. Today it\u2019s a real classic dish, and with its accompanying sausages, it\u2019s impossible to imagine Croatian cuisine without it!<\/p><p><strong>WINTER<\/strong><\/p><p>Christmas time turns Croatia to a real winter wonderland.

There\u2019s no better way to keep warm during the cold Christmas season than by enjoying hearty dishes such as Sarma or Purica s mlincma. Sarma is in essence a cabbage roll, although it can also be made with vine leaves.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The filling consists of minced meat, rice or bulgur, herbs, spices, red pepper, paprika, ground sumac and tomato sauce. Similarly, Purica s mlincma is also a very popular winter dish.
