˝Legend of the Lumblija˝ from Blato, Korčula Island
˝Legend of the Lumblija˝  from Blato, Korčula Island

In the beautiful atrium of Sponza Palace we will hear the story about the original lumblija cake accompanied with the traditional Kumpanjija dance and a capella singing performed by the klapa group Kumpanji from the town of Blato on the island of Korčula.

Due to its ingredients, the lumblija is a long-lasting cake, which the older it is, the tastier it gets. It is often given as a gift to family, friends, and neighbours as a ˝forget me not˝ message to be sent each year and to last for a long time.

During this occasion, there will also be a presentation of the award-winning cookbook Croacia – Cozinha e Memoria Dalmata authored by Katie Gavranich Camargo, a descendant of emigrants from Blato. Locals and visitors will have the opportunity to become acquainted with another culinary rarity of our region, as well as a small part of the folklore and heritage of the island of Korčula.
