Product group: Food

Viški Cvit, a craft and catering business owned by Mirela Blagojević, comes from the island of Vis, one of Croatia's most beautiful and gastronomically distinctive islands. The business preserves and revives the island's rich confectionery tradition through a product that has become one of the most recognisable symbols of Vis: Viški Cvit. Viški Cvit is a traditional island dry biscuit with a unique shape and flavour, made according to a family recipe more than one hundred years old. Its originality and simplicity make it special, while the fact that it can be found exclusively on the island of Vis further underlines its authenticity. Because production is small-scale and almost entirely artisanal, Viški Cvit remains a rare and precious product, much like the island of Vis itself. Every Viški Cvit is handmade at every stage and cut into the shape of a stylised flower petal using just one pastry tool, a dough cutter. It is produced according to traditional methods without artificial preparations, substitute sweeteners, preservatives or industrial powdered mixes, thereby preserving the product's original quality and value. Besides its exceptional crispness, Viški Cvit is distinguished by its recognisable aroma and flavour, developed by brushing the biscuit with anise oil. Anise, known and valued since the time of ancient Greece, has traditionally been regarded as a medicinal plant and gives this product its distinctive aroma and character. Through Viški Cvit, Mirela Blagojević's business successfully combines tradition, hand craftsmanship and island identity, creating a product that represents Vis and its gastronomic values at their best.
