Because of that the gastronomy of Vis nowadays is experiencing its renaissance.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who tries the uniqueness of the island\u2019s food within the experience of visiting this pearl of the Mediterranean becomes an addict who returns year after year for a dose of hedonistic pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>The unique microclimate, the fertile plateau of the island of Vis, and its prolific fields are the ideal prerequisites for fruitful harvests of grapes, olives, and citrus fruits. Furthermore, skilled fishermen always have abundant catches of fish. We can easily conclude that the island of Vis attracts its numerous visitors also with its enticing gastronomic experience.<\/p>\n<p>Octopus fritters or salad, dried, salted, and smoked fish, stewed squid in wine with laurel, fish in chickpeas, pastafa\u017eol on brujet (you have to try it to understand) are just some of the dishes that you won\u2019t find anywhere else on the Adriatic.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to try something special, order <strong>a Dalmatian peka<\/strong> which is a baked dish with meat or fish and vegetables made in a pot or a tray, the pot is put into the embers of a fireplace. The peka dish is prepared in the traditional way, which takes time and love. Brujet, a tomato-based fish stew, monkfish, and lobster dishes are also specialties that you should not miss.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to book a whole week for an overall experience of the gastronomic pleasures on the island of Vis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To prepare yourself in time for these fireworks of pure taste, you can knead <strong>the Vi\u0161ka poga\u010da<\/strong> (traditional savoury pie) before you set off for Vis.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1865&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/span><b style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Vi\u0161ka poga\u010da:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Dough<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>600 g of flour<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon of salt<\/li>\n<li>1 pc yeast<\/li>\n<li>05 dcl olive oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 dcl olive oil<\/li>\n<li>5 pc onion<\/li>\n<li>800 g canned tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>a little oregano, capers or parsley (optionally)<\/li>\n<li>80 g anchovy or salted sardine fillet<\/li>\n<li>salt and pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will enjoy kneading a dough made of flour, yeast, water, and two tablespoons of olive oil.

Because of that, we must stick to the ancient proverb:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u201cA fish must swim three times: in the sea, in olive oil and good wine!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vis wine is divine nectar whose taste will take you on a journey through the romantic history of wine that dates back to the time when the Greeks were the alpha and omega of our seas. They planted the first vines and enjoyed the fruits of their labor, the heavenly wine of the island of Vis.<\/p>\n<p>The hardworking islanders still cherish the tradition of winemaking, so whatever winery or wine shop entices you to come in and taste their products, just enter and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>The most famous wine of the Vis island is <strong>Vugava<\/strong>, from the eponymous white grape variety, with a sumptuous fullness and a honey taste. But if you enjoy having a glass of red wine gently lull you to sleep, be sure to reach for <strong>Plavac Mali<\/strong>, known for its high sugar and heavenly bouquet that will delight even the most pampered taste buds.<\/p>\n<p>If you are one of those who would like to explore and enjoy all that this paradise island has to offer, join <strong>a Wine Tour<\/strong> and take time to indulge, taste, smell, relax and pamper yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SWEETS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you need a sweet sugar-filled bite, and you are on the island of Vis, Cviti and Hro\u0161tule are the right choices. Traditional desserts will introduce you to the world of celebration from the first bite because there is no wedding or festivity on the island without these crispy biscuits and deep-fried thin pastry sprinkled with sugar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAROB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you choose a carob cake, you won\u2019t go wrong either. In addition to satisfying the need for something sweet, you will feed your body with healthy food rich in calcium, potassium, vitamins B and E, and other good stuff. Carob is an old and esteemed fruit species that has been processed on the island of Vis for more than 50 years. There is also a carob mill which is the only one in Croatia. Carob pods are also used for the production of a sweet kind of liquor \u2013 <strong>Roga\u010dica<\/strong>, which you can take with you as an original souvenir and enjoy in its warm notes to remember the beauty of Vis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FIG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For ancient Indo-Europeans, <strong>the FIG<\/strong> was a sacred tree, associated with rituals of fertility and initiation. Many delicacies are made from its delicious fruits. The skilled hands of the inhabitants of the island of Vis have shaped dried figs into a cake named \u201csmokvenjak\u201d from ancient times. Today this dried fig cake is still prepared in the same, traditional way, and is known as The Hib from Vis or Vi\u0161ki Hib.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vi\u0161ki Hib<\/strong> is prepared from local ecological ingredients: figs, fennel, almonds, orange peel, and herbs. It is stored in dried laurel and rosemary leaves, which protect the hib and give it an additional aroma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is a real energy bar!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LEMONS AND ORANGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dried and ground lemon and orange peels, sweet orange peels (narancini), sweet lemon peels (limuncini), bitter orange jams, and lemon jams are just some of the magical island products that you can find on the island of Vis. There are also various types of liqueurs, capers, or motar (seaweed) in wine vinegar and olive oil which make your choice for the best island product very difficult.<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Vis cuisine Maurice Edmond Sailland \u2013 Curnonsky, the great gastronomic writer of the early 20th century, nicknamed the \u201cprince&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2054","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
