Who is Manjada? / Tko je Manjada?
Light, food, olive oil and wine are four kinds of energy fueling up my life. As laser physicist I’m investigating how Nature efficiently uses the Sun to power itself. Obsessed with homemade local produces and rustic cooking style inherited from my Istrian family. Taking care of my olive grove along with participating in sensorial tests of Istrian extra virgin olive oil are my two favorite kinds of relaxation. Wine entered into my life few years ago (I even passed the sommelier exam in Italy) and told me: “I’m here to feed your spirit and imagination.” I am among founders of the Taste of Croatia project that is one and only independent gourmet and wine guide to Croatia in English.
Svjetlo, hrana, maslinovo ulje i vino četiri su vrste energije koje pokreću moj život. Kao laserski fizičar istražujem kako Priroda uspijeva efikasno koristiti Sunce da bi samu sebe pogonila. Opsjednut sam domaćim i lokalnim proizvodima, kao i rustikalnim kuhinjskim stilom kojeg sam naslijedio od moje istarske obitelji. Brinuti se o mojem masliniku preko vikenda i sudjelovanje u panel ocjenjivanjima istarskih maslinovih ulja dvije su moje najdraže relaksacije Vino je ušlo u moj život prije par godina (odtad sam i završio somelijerski tečaj AISa u Trstu) i reklo mi: “Tu sam da okrijepim tvoju dušu i maštu”. Jedan sam od osnivača Taste of Croatia projekta iliti jedinog nezavisnog vodiča kroz enogastronomiju Hrvatske na engleskom jeziku.

Yes, the route is absolutely suitable also for towing a large Caravan or even a boat.
