Daniela Kramarić
Official Ambassador for Kvarner, European Region of Gastronomy awarded 2026
“Nature has left us an inheritance of exceptional foods, we cherish them with tradition, and today we shape them with knowledge and passion. Being an ambassador for Kvarner Region – European Region of Gastronomy 2026, is a great honour and obligation. Sharing the values that we all represent together, sharing knowledge among younger generations and educating visitors, as well as the local population about the importance of indigenous wine varieties, forgotten foods, uniqueness of Kvarner’s scampi (langoustines) is a task which I consider my duty and joy.”
