Lamb holds a special place in Krk’s culinary heritage. More than just a dish, it’s a tradition passed down through generations, rooted in the island’s pastoral lifestyle and Mediterranean soul.

The Origins
For centuries, Krk’s rocky terrain and aromatic herbs like rosemary and thyme have made it ideal for sheep grazing. The result? Tender, flavorful meat that tastes like the land itself. Lamb became a staple on family tables during holidays, harvest celebrations, and Sunday gatherings.

Why It’s Special

• Locally Raised: Krk lamb is often pasture-raised and free of additives.
• Naturally Seasoned: The diet of wild herbs gives the meat a unique flavor.
• Slow-Cooked to Perfection: Traditionally roasted under a peka (bell-like dome), or slow-braised with vegetables.
