source site Let’s answer the 5 W’s for food lovers: who, what, why, when and where
https://www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com/2024/09/18/baywmea The town of Omis and its region covers three different territories in Central Dalmatia: Omis Riviera, Cetina river, the canyon and inland – a region on the right side of the Cetina river called Poljica and villages on the north side of Omiška Dinara. The geographical position of Omis region enabled the development of three cuisine types, connected to the sea, river and inland.
https://ragadamed.com.br/2024/09/18/xcab8irwqr8 UNESCO. Maybe you didn’t know, Dalmatian cuisine is part of the Mediterranean diet which is included in the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013 together with six cuisines of Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Marocco and Cyprus.
go to site THE MEANING OF THE WORD DIET. These days we relate the word diet to the way of eating done with one goal, to lose weight. But, it actually means the food and drink we eat or regular basis. The word diet comes from the Greek word diatia, meaning ‘a way of living’.
https://marcosgerente.com.br/4w3pw99gsq MEDITERRANEAN DIET So, what’s so special about Mediterranean diet that was inscribed in UNESCO list? Fish and olive oil was the probably first thing that popped in your mind, right? But, it is not only healthy food like fish and olive oil, seafood and fresh fruits, nuts, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, dairy and lean meat. It is also about a traditional way to produce, conserve, process and cook food in the harmony with the seasons and consuming, eating in the Mediterranean, in this case, Dalmatian way. On the top of it all, it is about socializing, eating together with family and friends, laughing and singing, celebrating life and happy moments together.
see url FOOD AS INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE. Food is an inseparable part of any culture. In the times of globalization, we should think of preserving and protecting our autochthonous dishes. Globalization is the integration and interaction of different nations. Our tradition makes us different and unique.
source SOPARNIK. The traditional dish from Poljica (inland Omis) soparnik is on the list of the protected cultural heritage of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia and protected and issued by the EU geographical origin label. Soparnik is not only very tasty it is also very interesting to see how it is prepared. So, when in Omis, do not miss an opportunity to taste this dish made of dough, swiss chard, onion, olive oil and garlic, baked under ember and hot ashes.
https://everitte.org/p6fomr2l3c WINE. Dalmatians say that fish swim three times: first time in the sea, the second time in the olive oil and the third time in the wine. Omis is placed in Split-Dalmatia county that covers Inland Dalmatia wine subregion and it is a part of Central and South Dalmatia wine subregion of Coastal Croatia wine region. Inland Croatia has three vineyard areas: Sinj-Vrlika, Imotski and Vrgorac. Central Dalmatia has six vineyard areas Kaštela-Trogir, Split-Omiš-Makarska, Vis, Hvar, Brač I Šolta. Some of the Dalmatian wine varieties are Tribidrag/ Pribidrag/ Crljenak (Zinfandel), Maraština, Plavac Mali, Pošip, Kujunđuša, Zlatarica and others.
https://www.thoughtleaderlife.com/rb2ezkqxjy1 The local wine Omiš Rose (a coupage of autochthonous varieties Plavac, Ninčuša and Okatac) and Pribidrag (in Italy known as Primitivo and USA Zinfandel originates actually from Dalmatia) are produced by Omis winemaker Nikša Mimica in village placed on the north side of Omiška Dinara hill, Svinišće.
follow SPIRITS. Rakija (in English brandy) is not just an alcoholic drink in Croatia, it is also considered to be a cure for many problems. Lowering a high body temperature, disinfection, stomach ache, nausea, just name it… for every problem, there is rakija to cure it. The most common brandies in Dalmatia are Orahovac- walnut, Višnjak – cherry and Travarica – herb brandies.
follow CRAFT BEER. Beer isn’t traditional Dalmatian drink but that doesn’t mean that we do not have anything to offer to our beer lover guests. Brewery Barilo has opened recently 5 km away from Omis in the small town Dugi Rat. They produce two craft beers named after two historical legends from Omis and Poljica. Golden ale beer Mila and red ale beer Malduk can be found in several Omis restaurants and bars.
