Klara's story

Love in every step
of production

As long as my memories go, so does my love for pasta. A deeply etched image from my childhood is the image of my mother and grandmother kneading dough in the long winter evenings, our warm house filled with the crackling of the fire, the smell of flour and the joyful hum. I loved putting on an apron, taking a piece of dough, absorbing my nonna’s expert movements and trying to make shapes as similar as possible to hers. Even then, my love for tradition, but also my love for food, was deeply instilled in me.

Although I had a break during my education, my husband sealed the fateful connection with making traditional Istrian pasta. Drago is a chef and a passionate aficionado of fine food, and back in 1987, by founding a business, he boldly set out to implement our common ideas. We had a strong desire for as many people as possible to feel the magic of taste that only homemade pasta with a light sauce can evoke. The path was neither simple nor easy, but my husband’s determination and diligence were crucial, both in the beginning and throughout our entrepreneurial adventure, up until today.

We both grew up in Kanfanar, the most beautiful place in the very heart of Istria. It is a place with rich history, culture and tradition to which generations of our family are attached. The best feeling is doing what you love and being at home with your whole family and together creating the beauty of a brand that found its inspiration in that very place, in an old tradition..

We started with one small used machine and a huge will. Already in 2003, we built a modern production hall with a new production line for tagliatelle. We make our tagliatelle or lasagna as we call them ‘at home’ by rolling the dough, which is the highest quality, but also the most difficult way. Today, we are proud of our modern production facility, which is permanently updated according to the needs of the market, both in the segment of dry and frozen pasta.

 

The path of homemade Istrian pasta ‘Klara Marić’ started from local restaurants, hotels and small shops in the area. Today, we are present in all large and relevant retail chains in Croatia. We export to several European countries, the USA, etc. However, we are particularly proud that you can buy our pasta in Italy, the cradle of pasta. We passed on our love for tradition and pasta to our sons, who today, each in their own segment, contribute to the growth and development of the company.

ISTRIAN TAVERN BUIĆ maintains high-quality and delicious traditional Istrian cuisine, and that's why, since I've known you, we've been using KLARA MARIĆ pasta in our kitchen. We are extremely satisfied with the homemade pasta, especially the stuffed ravioli with cheese and salami.

Antonio Vladišković CHEF - Istarska konoba Buići, Kadumi

"TASTES OF HOME" if I hadn't been guided by the mentioned marketing phrase, I would never have known what the best pasta is! At the invitation of Nikola, I went to Kanfanar and satisfied my curiosity by visiting the impressive production plant, silos with carefully selected flour, bags of fresh eggs and spring Istrian water. When everything starts together... we get the best pasta, ever!!! To this day, I don't want to know about any other pasta except for KLARA MARIĆ, Kanfanar.

Časlav Matijević CHEF - Masterchef, Hrvatska

In our hotel, we offer various specialties every day, and Klara Marić's pasta products are definitely there. We cook two-colored spinach fudge, two-colored tagliatelle, fish for soup, gnocchi, and pjukan, which we serve with truffles. We are extremely satisfied and everything is as it should be, from the delivery to the product. I rate everything with a pure five!

Mirela Došlić CHEF - Aparthotel Adeo, Poreč

I have been using Klara Marić pasta since it appeared on the market. I used it in the kitchens of all the restaurants where I worked, and for 13 years in the Stari Podrum tavern, of which I am the owner and also the chef. In my 54 working years, I have never worked with a better supplier. We are currently using Klara Marić noodles for soup, tagliatelle and pjukance. Our guests like to eat spitballs and tagliatelle with Istrian truffle. I am delighted with the quality of the product and the cooperation.

Mira Zrnić CHEF - Konoba Stari Podrum, Momjan

As a long-time customer, we confidently claim that Klara Marić pasta is the best business decision. Pasta, fuji and lasagna, as well as other products, provide safety in the preparation of meals. The taste of the pasta is completely different, more like that made at home. We never had any problems with ordering and delivery. Fast and safe delivery. The guests in the restaurant are very satisfied, and that is what we strive for. All recommendations for Klara Marić products.

I discovered Klara Marić pasta many years ago. For me, it is undoubtedly the best Croatian pasta, which I prepare with full confidence in my kitchen. At the moment, with particular gusto, I choose pasta from the new line with which they made an extra step forward: two-color fuži and two-faced tagliatelle, of which I prefer the ones with chili...

What I look for in my dishes is only the best, quality and homemade, and what I respect more than anything is the effort and work of human hands invested in the production of pasta.
