Polji？ki soparnik

Sa？etak In today's time of rapid development and almost daily change and progress, old traditions and traditional values fall into oblivion, and there is a need to protect traditional and intangible cultural heritage. Tourism in our region is continually advancing and becoming the main engine of our economy. The aim of this paper is to present a valuable traditional Croatian food product – "Polji？ki soparnik", a bakery product made from finely ground wheat flour, chard, red onion, olive oil, garlic, salt and water. In the past, the "soparnik" was one of the basic dishes and only known in the Poljica regions, and today, as a protected product, it attests to the former way of life in the rural regions and to the table culture as an indispensable part of the total national culture. From the products for the poor it has become a recognizable brand, and it is offered on all cultural or gastronomic events throughout Dalmatia and Croatia
