Fuži is often called the queen of pasta. The unique shape of this pasta is accompanied by a legend that started a deep tradition. Fuži are still made in an authentic and traditional way.

Our homemade fuži is made from carefully selected grains of the highest quality durum wheat and high-quality, fresh eggs. We do not use powdered eggs in production. The dough is rolled and then cut in the shape of a rhombus – as if we were making krpice or, as we also call them, pasutice. The two ends of the dough are then joined and folded over each other and pressed so that they do not separate. Traditionally, fuži are made with the help of a stick around which krpice are wrapped, i.e. squares of dough, the ends of which are joined into the final shape – fuži. The result of using a stick is a hole in fuži, which makes the pasta ideal for absorbing the sauce. Thanks to our efforts, this form has become nationally recognized, which is why we are extremely proud!

Fuži are a holiday staple in Istria. In the past, they were prepared exclusively for holidays, special celebrations, festivals and ceremonies. Traditionally, a recipe was prepared with chicken sauce, known in Istria as žgvacet. At that time, there is no family whose house did not smell of fuži in chicken sauce – a simple and delicious, old traditional recipe that is part of the customs even today.
