Vesna Loborika is a well-known Istrian family-owned creamery with a long and authentic tradition, located in the small village of Loborika near Pula. Their story began in 1985 in a simple and symbolic way - with the gift of a single goat, which laid the foundation for the first batch of homemade cheese.
Over the years, this humble beginning grew into one of the most recognized small dairies in Istria, with products now found throughout Croatia and beyond. Today, Vesna Loborika produces a wide range of dairy products - from fresh and young cow’s cheese to mature and hard cheeses such as Rici and Karig, which have become their signature offerings. These cheeses are distinguished by a careful aging process, rich flavors, and textures that reflect the skill and passion invested in their production.
Rici, aged for 12 months, stands out in particular, having received numerous awards for its persistent aroma and balanced taste. Karig, also a mature cheese, is often described as slightly spicier and more rustic.
Vesna Loborika is now an example of a successful small-scale producer, built on family dedication, respect for tradition, and a constant pursuit of excellence.
