Istarski Boškarin | Local Beef Cattle Breed From Istria, Croatia | TasteAtlas

Istarski boškarin

Istarski boškarin is an autochthonous Istrian cattle breed that has almost disappeared in the past, but nowadays, it’s saved due to the intervention from the Federation of Istrian Cattle Breeders. The cattle is farmed for gourmet purposes and it’s characterized by its gray coat and white muzzle.


In the past, boškarin was often used for fieldwork and milk production. Today, boškarin meat, with its peculiar flavor and aroma, is a top gourmet delicacy that’s made into salami, enjoyed as a steak, or used in stews that are typically paired with local pasta such as fuži and pljukanci.
