Traditional Croatian food Zagorje Strukli

„Zagorski štrukli“ or „štruklji“ is a popular traditional Croatian dish served in households across Hrvatsko Zagorje and Zagreb regions in the north of the country, composed of dough and various types of filling which can be either boiled or baked.

It is a dish that can be a soup or a warm starter, a main and indeed only dish and a dessert. It can be bought all over the place, probably has never been less made or more eaten at home. Today, strukli has made the journey from local to generally recognise national dish. In 2007, Zagorski štrukli was added to the list of Croatia’s intangible cultural heritage maintained by Croatia’s Ministry of Culture.
