Today is National Wine and Cheese Day! Filix is proud to come from Istria, a region celebrated for its rich culinary traditions. Nestled in this gourmet paradise, we take this opportunity to highlight the exceptional flavors that make Istria a true culinary destination.

The Truffle Cheese
Istria is renowned for its cheeses, particularly those infused with the esteemed truffles from the Motovun forests. Truffle cheese is a cornerstone of Istrian cuisine, combining the creamy texture of locally produced cheese with the rich, earthy flavor of truffles. This unique combination creates a culinary delight that visitors often take home as a cherished souvenir. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with wine, Istrian truffle cheese offers a taste experience that is both memorable and distinct.

Wine Wonders
Complementing our cheese specialties are the exquisite wines of Istria. The region's flagship white wine, Malvasia, is known for its fresh, floral notes, making it an ideal match for seafood and lighter dishes. For red wine lovers, Teran offers a robust flavor profile that pairs perfectly with hearty meat dishes and rich truffle flavors. Both wines are a testament to the fertile Istrian soil and the region's long-standing winemaking traditions.

Gourmet Delicacies
Beyond cheese and wine, Istria boasts a variety of gourmet dishes that reflect its rich culinary heritage. Delicate Istrian prosciutto melts in your mouth with its tantalizing flavor, while the hearty brodetto fish stew showcases Istria's diverse cultural influences and abundant landscapes. Traditional Istrian fuži pasta, often served with truffles, is a must-try for anyone visiting the region.
