creation of a specific and identifiable offer from Karlovac County uses as much
food as possible obtained from local food producers, especially those products
which are typical for that part of Croatia, such as wild mushrooms and other
fruits of the forest, wild game, fish from the local rivers, and flour from the
stone mills on the Slunjčica River. Continental delicacies such as venison
prosciutto, wild boar sausage, smoked trout, perch encrusted in seeds, chestnut
cake, plum dumplings, strudel, wild cep mushroom soup, cabbage rolls with
Ogulin cabbage that carries the EU designation of origin... these are just some
of the traditional dishes from this part of Croatia.
