Croatian cuisine is really multifaceted as it is the results of the influence of many different peoples which entered in contact with this land.
\nEach area is characterised by its own peculiarities and this is also due to the vary features of Croatian territory.
\nThere is, however, a common and shared aspect among all these peculiarities and it is represented by the the use of local and always fresh raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nothern hinterland of Croatia is influenced by Austrian cuisine with peculiar dishes like roasted meat and spits.
\nGetting closer to eastern Europe countries we meet strong tastes characterised by the plentiful use of garlic and spices and also some typical dishes of this area such as stew and soup.
\nAs long as we get closer to the coast, Croatian cuisine changes completely offering again tastes and smells typical of the Mediterranean area.
\nOlive oil, fresh fish and shellfish are widespread along the coast.
\nAll over Croatia you can find a wide variety of cheese coming from the numerous sheeps and goats livestocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
