Eat Know Love Istria is an annual gourmet magazine dedicated to presenting the richness, authenticity and evolving identity of Istria’s culinary world. Published once a year, the magazine offers an immersive and beautifully crafted journey through the region’s flavours, traditions and people, capturing Istria as a destination where gastronomy, culture and heritage intertwine in a uniquely harmonious way. Each edition combines in-depth storytelling, refined visuals and expert insights to portray the region as one of Europe’s most compelling gourmet landscapes.

The magazine explores Istria through the work of winemakers, olive oil producers, fishermen, truffle hunters, distillers, small family farms and chefs whose passion and craftsmanship define the region’s gastronomic character. Through long-form articles and striking photography, Eat Know Love Istria highlights seasonal ingredients, traditional culinary methods and contemporary interpretations that elevate Istrian cuisine to international recognition.

A distinctive feature of the magazine is its focus on the cultural and historical fabric of the region, with particular attention to the traditions of Rovinj, Vrsar, Svetvinčenat and Kanfanar. These communities embody the diversity of Istria’s culinary heritage: the maritime spirit and coastal gastronomy of towns shaped by centuries of life by the sea; the artisanal practices and slow-food philosophy rooted in the inland landscape; the medieval heritage reflected in local festivities, rituals and recipes; and the agricultural legacy that has preserved authentic flavours through generations. Their customs, stories and distinctive culinary signatures are interwoven throughout the magazine, enriching its narrative and offering readers a deeper understanding of how local identity shapes regional gastronomy.

Each issue of Eat Know Love Istria paints a vivid portrait of the places where tradition and innovation meet — from the narrow stone streets of historic coastal towns to the green hills dotted with family farms and rural estates. The magazine presents the region’s terroir in all its complexity, exploring the land, the sea, the climate and the people whose work transforms natural bounty into gastronomic excellence. Alongside culinary features, the publication touches on lifestyle elements such as sustainability, craftsmanship, wine culture and the connection between nature and cuisine, creating a holistic and contemporary picture of Istrian life.
