Brgujski kapuz: red-green treasure of Ćićarija
Veli Brgud, a settlement within the Municipality of Matulji, is situated on the north-eastern edge of Ćićarija, in a fertile field framed by higher, hilly terrain.

There is hardly a home cook who does not have her own recipe for štruklji (most often passed down from generation to generation), and besides secret
