Deliiicije is not a business – it’s a passion. You know how they say: if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. And we love food! Deliiicije is a wonderland for gourmands. Everything in our stores was personally tried (and loved!) by us. It’s a collection of our favourite things. Among other things, we believe you don’t really know a country, until you’ve tried its food. Love goes through the stomach! Croatia is a small, but diverse country - as is its gourmet scene. Tourist guides will show you sights of Croatia, but if you want to taste Croatia, you must stop by Deliiicije. In our stores, you can find Adria products. Adria brand brings the flavours of Croatia to your table. How does Croatia taste then? It tastes sweet like ripe figs and juicy oranges, which we use to make jams, cakes and liqueurs. It tastes aromatic, like lavender which we add to our chocolate and biscuits. It tastes like dark chocolate and bitter rakija liqueur and spicy chutneys. Intrigued? Curious? Hungry? :)
