Ćupter

Ćupter (also known as ćufter) is a traditional dessert from Herzegovina and central and southern Dalmatia, made from boiled must (unfermented grape juice), though grapes and other fruits can also be used. The must is mixed with flour, and the mixture is boiled over low heat, poured into shallow containers, and traditionally dried in the sun, with spices or nuts sometimes added for flavor. Ćupter was traditionally served as a dessert with almonds, walnuts, or dried figs, often on special occasions or served to guests.

Recognized as a cultural symbol, ćupter is registered as a protected cultural asset in both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, reflecting its importance as part of the region’s intangible cultural heritage.
