Our job is to process milk and produce cheeses and other dairy products and up until three years ago we were growing, employment was growing, we were investing in the dairy, developing new products, in a word we were a successful business. Then came the "Lady EU", which is often portrayed as a fat queen in a blue dress with a 12-star crown, but for Croatian farmers she turned out to be an ugly witch on a broom.
The absolute winner of the exhibition was the EURO-MILK dairy from Beloslavec, whose Plemićki cheese (Nobleman's cheese) was proclaimed this year's Champion, while Dragec smoked cheese and liquid yoghurt won gold medals.
We've revived many forgotten foods such as whey, buttermilk and real homemade butter. That is why we have now breathed new life into the well-known semi-hard cooked cheese that has been made at almost every household in Northwestern Croatia.
Croatian product is the one that is made from milk of Croatian cows, which are fed by Croatian farmers with food produced on Croatian soil.
Why is it important to buy domestic/Croatian products?
Through 23 points we have shown who are the participants in the production chain of EURO-MILK products, from A to Z.
"Into the EU with the sausage" event was held last weekend in a small Istrian town of Sv. Petar u Šumi. This year, we had the pleasure to attend as representatives of the Zagreb County for the first time.
