If only Croatian politicians loved Croatia like you..... Croatia would be the most developed country in the world! Well done.....

As a Croatian who speaks English and lives abroad I must say I am impressed with your Croatian skills. Your channel is good promotion for Croatia, keep up the good work and stay safe in this troubled times, all the best wishes to your family.

Lino lada duo is fantastic. I completely agree that it is better than Nutella.

Bok! Čestitam! Tvoj video je jako lijepo... Ja nemam hrvstske korijene ali jako volim hrvatsku kulturu, učim hrvatski jezik :)

I am from New Zealand, and due to many tragic circumstances when I was very young, all family ties were lost on my mothers side, and she passed away when I was 18 months old. My father was adopted in a closed adoption, he has passed on now, and I will never know his background as all of his adoptive family are passed on too. One thing I did always know was that my mothers side was “Yugoslavian” As I got older and discovered that “Yugoslavia” no longer exists under that name, I learned that my family was actually from Dalmatia. Recent years I began piecing together what I could of my family tree, and discovered that from my great grandfather, they are all from Drvenik - back at least 4 generations. I remember for many years, I would dream I was floating very quickly above the most clear blue ocean, with many small islands, and sand bars, that were visible beneath the super clear water. I’d never seen ocean so clear, and my brain had seemingly made up this place. But when I started looking into my history, I opened images of Dalmatia, and Drvenik, and realised that I was dreaming for many years, of the Adriatic Sea. I have such a calling “home” I feel like it’s been calling me. Sometimes I watch videos of areas around where my family would have lived, and I actually get teary. The mountains feel so familiar to me. I am 37 now, and I live in Australia. I have been trying to learn Croatian, although it feels very overwhelming, I am trying to pull genetic memory into myself, haha. Anyway, after all of this babbling, I just want to say that watching your videos is a super easy way for me to feel a little closer to a place that calls me, to call it home. I plan to live there one day, but I am scared of the culture differences, and not knowing the language. I will overcome that though. Thanks for your videos! I’ll be watching them all.

I did my Erasmus programme in Slovenia and they sold there a lot of products from Croatia, and one of my favourite things in the world was the Domaćica Keks, I would give anything to eat them again!! Also I tried Pipi soda (in Split), highly recommended 🙌

Ma lajk do neba! Svaka čast na prezentaciji. Žena i po'

Pouring water in wine was a madeleine cookie for me. That reaction in joining, fizziness, and sound of it, it took me back to my childhood. My late dad had his own vineyard, with wine cellar (klet). As a kid, I used to drink a little from the barrels when he wasn't looking. When I grew up and left home, I often came to visit him. We would go to the klet in the evening, sit on the terrace and sip in peace. Complete peace, no conversation. Maybe two sentences all evening. Just listened crickets chirping. I miss that very much.

We were in Croatia a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with the people there. Can't wait to go back.

What a Cro ambasssador!

2:17 that is the cutest thing I have seen in a whole week. He clearly wanted some, and then that cutest hug... Greetings from Serbia. Croatia is indeed a beautiful land to live in.

ABC cheese rules! The best. Try them a lot, way tastier and less grease than Philadelphia

Oh my goodness, I got so addicted to Napolitanke during my three months in Croatia this year. I couldn't stop eating them! 😂Great roundup and you've given me a lot to try once I'm back.❤️Great video!

May God bless you and your family. Sara, you are Croatia's best foreign sister in -law. Congratulations, I'm taking my hat off to the floor. You are simply full of life and creating a positive atmosphere with your presence wherever you move. Thank you so much for the videos... we love it. Hvala ti Ivane sto je nisi pustio nazad u Canadu 😊😊😊😊🤣🥰

Wish I had seen this before I went to Croatia in June. Croatia is such a beautiful country and the people were so welcoming, I highly recommend exploring this wonderful country!

"gemišt" is actually a German word: "gemischt", which means "mixed". 😄 Funny for me as a German! 😂 But most Germans call this drink "Schorle".

When I was a toddler, my mom would make me Čokolino in the bottle, with more milk, and I would drink it before going to sleep. That's probably one of my first memories, heck I can still feel the taste of it in my mouth :)

Love these videos, we’ve just spent our Sunday afternoon watching them. Zivjela hrvatska 🇭🇷 from Australia 🇦🇺

Svaka čast lijepa gospođo na ovakvoj prezentaciji hrvatske kulture i hrvatskih proizvoda. Jako ljupko i odmjereno to činite. Pozdrav vašoj dražesnoj dječici i uživajte u Hrvatskoj koju vidim da volite. Pravi ste veleposlanik Hrvatske. Čestitam i hvala vam.

Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and people to! Happy for you girl enjoy in your life there and welcome! 😍 Greetings to my wonderful neighbors and all those who come there to live like you.With love from Serbia-Belgrade .❤️💋

I'm 52 yr old and every time I visit my parents back in Croatia - my day starts with čokolino!

About Bajadera....it has been priducing for 60y now and it is apsolute perfection

My family is from croatia but living in Germany. And although we go basicly every year to croatia for our vacationes. Many of the Products I didn't know. Thanks for presenting them

Stvarno dobar odabir. Netko tko dolazi prvi put u Hrvatsku bi dobio super uvid u sve što je dobro. 🥰 s obzirom da ima toliko finih klasika u Hrvatskoj, predlažem i drugi dio. Jedino moram priznat da nikad nisam čula za San 10 kremu. 🤔

I can absolutely agree with Lino lada being delicious (I also bought some when we were in Croatia and now have it home ❤) and Jamnica mineral water. But we also enjoyed Cedevita but the one you add to your water (not the one already mixed :)) and Orangina. We also have our favourite place we visit on Hvar island ❤ we travel to Croatia by car from Slovakia :)

S pomočjo tvojega kanala sem izvedel, kaj imajo dobrega naši dragi sosedje. Seveda se šalim, ker tudi jaz uporabljam nekaj teh dobrot, pogrešam pa Tomislava, najboljšega prijatelja, ko sem na morju. Kdo je Tomislav? Ja pivo vendar.

The mineral water is so good there! And also agree that their olive oil is amazing! I can’t drink wine in the States-gives me a headache. I drank the whites and rosés and never had the slightest headache. So refreshing!

Kada je moj mali triba počet jesti nešto drugo osin mlijeka, ja san dolazila doma iz Italije i kupovala naše proizvode. Čokolino, Medolino, Frutolino sa raznim okusima, najbolja hrana za djecu a i ja ih još volim! Osim toga, Pavlovićeva mast je nešto najbolje što postoji za bebe! Sve proizvode za bebe sam kupovala uvijek samo u Hrvatskoj, od kupki, do krema, kašica, kozmetike od bademovog ili maslinovog ulja, najbolji proizvodi na svijetu! Melem moram imati uvijek u zalihama, ali mislim da je nešto najbolje što postoji Šaljicev Jomelop za opekline. Ja sam medicinar, živim i radim 30 godina u Italiji, imala sam tešku nezgodu sa opeklinama na 38%povšine. Kada niš nije pomagalo, tražila sam liječenje kako mi radimo u Hrvatskoj i to je bilo to. Ozdravila u tri tjedna a nitko ovdje mi nije vjerovao. Hrvatska ima mnogo proizvoda najboljih najboljih na svijetu, ja putujem stotine km da bih ih kupila! Najbolje maslinovo ulje na svijetu, dokazano i nagradjeno, nekoliko najboljih vina na svijetu, graševina i malvazija, ali i milijun drugih proizvoda koji mi znamo, ali svijet ne. E zato mi koji smo vani, dolazimo redovno po "špežu" pravih kvalitetnih prirodnih proizvoda iako možemo kupiti bilo što od svjetskih brendova. I ovo moje nije niš nostalgično, činjenica je da nakon mnogo godina na zapadu, shvatiš da jedna mala, divna Hrvatska ima proizvode koje u svijetu sanjaju a nemaju.

Sjajna prezentacija, odlični ste, lijep pozdrav Vama i obitelji iz ST

I'am from Zagreb and thank you for the promotion Croatia to the world.

European chocolate and ice cream are superior to American. Fortunately, here in Chicago, there are multiple stores that sell most Kras products (I know cause I buy them frequently), so I have Bajadera and Cokoladne Napolitanke all the time, along with Podravka soups, which I love. Unfortunately not all types are available in the US. Francuska juha is my favorite, but not available here.

Once again, very nice! Live in Croatia for almost 15 years and I cannot get rid of famous Napolitanke 😊

Da,Čokolino je definitivno za sve uzraste,i za VELIKU i malu dječicu😉😘🙂🙋‍♀️

i had a burger in Zagreb ... totally blown away at how good it was .....and that sparkling water is amazing too..i miss Croatia

ABC cream cheese is my LIFE, I love it so much. I don't even eat it on bread, I eat it straight from the box instead. About Čokolino, I don't like it too watery, I like it more dense, so I put more Čokolino and add only a little bit of milk, so it isn't too dry.

Me too, as Croat living in the UK, I just love this. Lots of love.

My favorite cheese spread is Zdenka sir. Try the classic one or the Special for easier spreading. It's a really old Croatian brand and it's just amazing.

in the Czech Republic we have an e-shop with things from Croatia I like the most Domačica ,Ki-Ki ,Cockta ,I drank jana vitamin frash and jana water and tea Jamnica I did not want to try Pasareta, but it is not yet available in the e-shop

Aw the daughter's smile so amazing! :D Im going to Croatia in the summer, I can't wait, I gonna go by your language video to be able to speak just a little and get by ^^

I like how youre relaxed and just enjoy wonderful products, nevermind about kids that come and go around. That's really cute and heartwarming!

I love abc and bajadera so much. They are definitely my favorites Croatian products

I agree with you in everything you said! You are my favorite Canadian woman in Croatia. I want you for the president!!!

Badojara is truly yummy. I also received it from my croatian partner twice. Čokolino is love! My other personal favorites are: Jaffa cakes, the pink Jana water (collagen beauty), and Prsut! 😍

You're doing an amazing job for our country 💕 I really appreciate your effort, channel and lovely things you say about whatever Croatian 😁

Sara bravooo 👏👍😍 Sve se slažem u potpunosti, baš lijepo prezentiraš Hrvatsku i naše proizvode 👌☺️ Veliki pozdrav tebi i tvojoj familiji 🥰❤️

Yup, I have almost all of them at home. And I use them on the daily basis.

"Vegeta", "Zdenka" (cheese) "Bananko", "Pelinkovac" "Eva Sardine" , Jetrena pašteta "Gavrilović", "Bobi" salty sticks, "Tortica" (chocholate-cooky snack) "Mikado" (rice chocholate...big one!) , "Domaćica", "Moto" (cookies) "Cocta" (soft drink) "Karlovačko", Ožujsko", "Velebitsko" "Osječko" "Pan" "Tomislav" (brands of beers) .....and a crown at the end "Samoborska kremšnita"

I thought bonus #15 would be Ivan. 🤣

Koja divna, nasmijana i pozitivna osoba. I dobar video. 👍

Abc sir won best cheese spread in the world I think in 2012

Love products from Croatia, especially the ABC Cream Cheese, it’s my family’s favourite, and definitely agree that it is far better than Philadelphia! And Napolitanke is the best chocolates, perfect with coffee! So lucky we can find lots of these food products from Croatia in Canada! Another wonderful video, your videos are so sweet and heart warming and I always enjoy them so much! Also you have the sweetest children. ☺️

The best part of your video madam is your lovely kids. That make the video more lively, authentic and lovable. May God bless them. Your content and presentation is the nice content. Plz keep up.

Lino lada, macho, čokolino, maslinovo ulje i Jamnica = najbolji na svijetu ❤

Bravo Sara, triba više takvih kao tebe. Naša zemlja ima toliko da daje drugima. Bilo bi lipo da naši ljudi se tako dive svojoj domovini kao ti. Pozdrav iz dalmacije i nastavi tako. Svako dobro tebi i tvojoj familiji...

Yeah Im a Croatian, Rock music and barbique on my heart

Za mene najdraži hrvatski proizvodi: 1.Melem, u kutijici i lipstik, 2. Bajadera Kraš, 3.Krašov kakao u prahu, za mene je nešto savršeno kvalitetno. Probala sam neke druge kakao u prahu, od drugih proizvođača pa i bio im je ukus sličan paprike u prahu. Zato Krašov kakao u prahu broj Jedan. 4.Vegeta neprevaziđena, 5. Dolčela Podravka, instant suhi kvasac, pošto volin da mislim kruv, i prašak za pecivo savršen, 6.Podravka džem od šljiva, šipka i marelice, (sva tri), 7. Hrvatsko maslinovo uje od domaćih proizvođača (Korčula), 8. Pelješko crno vino, jer bilo vino nisan nikad voljela, 9. Proizvodi Saponie Osijek,(veći dio asortimana) 10. Izosan-G, nekad je to bio Plivin proizvod. To je bio najbolji dezinficijens i još uvijek neprevaziđen. 11. Frank instant kava ali iz Hrvatske, ne iz drugih država. 12. Zvijezda majoneza, uje suncokretovo, 13. Belje ABC sirni namaz, 14. Podravka senf, 15. Hrvatske jubilarne rakije, koje se prave za tržište povodom jubileja tih tvrtki, 16. Kandit čokolada za kuhanje, jer ne volim jisti mliječne čokolade 17. Puter i vrhnje od "kumica" na zagrebačkoj pijaci Itd, itd. Trudila sam se pobrojati proizvode koje sam godinama koristila.🙋

I miss all these things so much! I'm Croatian but live in Canada most of my life.....but when ever I'm back home...those are all my Favorites!!!

I agree about Jamnica! And if you want still water, it’s got to be Jana. I may be biased because my great grandmother came from Toplice Svetojanska.

Ooo super video!!! Hvala ti mila na prezentaciji ovih delicija i proizvoda...favoriti su to i moje obitelji...moji osobno Šibenski botuni,naušnice iz mog kraja!!!😘😘😘❤❤❤ Lp iz Luxembourga

I am Croatian and I just enjoy watching you enjoy all things Croatian! 😍Big hugs!

I am croatian and liking these croatian foods and drinks is a massive blessing!

Thanks for the tip rekating to the abc spread. Currently trying it on a baguette in Cavtat while taking in the sunset and it really is better than Philadelphia cream cheese! Also bought some Napolitanke. I love the chocolate covered ones but either one or the other is great to have with a coffee. By the way they are "wafers" and not cookies:-). Unfortunately many European sweets translate to cookies and there is such a wide assortment of "cookies". Take care and should you visit the Czech Republic one day I will send you a list of what to try.

You had me at Čokolino ❤️ besides napolitanke i love Domaćica kekse and pašteta.

👍. Zaboravila si griotte i ledene kocke od Kraša, paški sir, pršut Da Nutella je preslatka, bolja je Lino Lada Dobar video 🤗

You are 100% on point with Napolitanke! I am yet to find cookies that taste better.

One product is missing All Natural non GMO Vegeta. I am so glad I can buy it here in Canada. Make it N0. 15

Try Jamnica mineral water with orange Cedevita, also ppl beware Napolitanke are addictive it's easy to start binge eating them if you fall for the trap of seeing them as a snack.

This is so funny, I was watching this video and had a coffee and I was eating napolitanke. The same as you showed. They are delicious 😋. I also really like the Melem products. Bok👋🏻

I love the Batons as well as Tortica from Kraš 😍

This is so weird, but nice, to see a person from another background admire all this ordenary things😆 it makes me so happy to see you love all this products, they are really good! Your croatian is really good, I wish you and your family all the best! Thank you for promoting Croatia so well!

Srdacan pozdrav iz Rijeke - Croatia - Hrvatska!

We agree with you in almost all of them. But, Lino Lada ice cream on a stick is the best! Thanks for the tip: Napolitanke dipped in blak coffee!

This is such a heartfelt video!

Yes the Olive oil is the best.. ❤️

Such a great video! I love most of the products to! Thank you on a great representation of Croatia 🥰

I went to Porec many, many years ago. Fell. In. Love.

Awesome video I can relate to it simply tells the story of some of us who aren’t originally Croatians but adapted the culture and it became part of our daily life. Just love it.

Thank you Guys 👍

Love the kiddos!!!

Nice retrospective.

When you finally got to the wines,in the Napa valley, Grgich Hills Estate, absolutely one of the best Croatian cabernet that I have had.

Watching you from NYC, originally from Bosnia :) I am going back home in 7 days and you posted this video just in time to remind me all the yummy food I miss :D

Hvala na prekrasnom videu@Divni ste!

To see your videos is really energy boost.

That’s awesome. I can’t wait to visit soon.

Loads of love from Canada!!! You are amazing!!!! Fantasticna si u svakom pogledu! Volimo iste proizvode!!!

Great to see that you so love out products , one big hug for you and family

Preslatki ste! 🥰🥰

I am now out of Napolitanke from my last trip! I love the ones you showed but my fave are the chocolate covered 😊

Hello! Thank you for being so positive about your life in Croatia

I like your channel, there is always something interesting! I’m glad you love ABC sir , I see that milk factory from my balcony, I live on a street 50 meters away from it! I also adore ABC sireve, they are produced with many more flavors, I personally love the one with pieces of ham in it the most!

Your kids so cute 🥰 I love cheese spread, I will find out that kind when I come there in Croatia 😊

Thanks for sharing I will definitely try the ones I haven't yet

Thank you for the video. I really like this types of videos because when i travel i love visiting supermarkets and drugstore to see new to me products and what locals are using. I'm planning on visiting Croatia postcovid. So, now I now what should I look for and buy. Thank you. As a mom we always in need for some healing balms and creams.

Videi su vam fantastični, uživam u gledanju vaših videa. Možete pokušati snimiti jutarnje rutine u Hrvatskoj i u Kanadi, kao neke razlike, vjerujem da će biti smiješno i zanimljivo. Pozdrav iz Zagreba!

I absolutely 100% agree with every product you have mentioned in this video, all of them are amazing.

OMG Cokolinoooo! I love it!

What a lovely video and a sweet family 🥰🥰 I'm impressed by your pronunciation of Croatian words 😊😊

Sara ohohohoh , kako si mogla da zaboravis Vegetu, !! hoce li biti nesto iz djedinog i bakonog repertuara za "zimnicu" , a mozda sad u jesen bude moje omiljene knegle , Love Samson&co
