Istrian Goat Cheese from Starter to Dessert – Culinary Workshop with Chef Mario Mihelj at EGCI Pazin

One cheese. A whole menu. How many different dishes could you come up with? On Tuesday 10 November 2026 at EGCI in Pazin, chef Mario Mihelj will show how Istrian goat cheese can tie together every course, from starter to dessert. In his workshop you will explore how different techniques, textures and flavour combinations let you present the same ingredient in a new way every time. It is a chance to widen your culinary repertoire and find new roles for a local product on your menu. Behind every such product are the farmers who raise the animals: by using it in the kitchen we help preserve the indigenous Istrian goat and the value of local production. The workshop is part of the Autumn Workshop Cycle 2026 of the Istrian Gastronomic Education Centre (EGCI), celebrating 10 years of education, tradition and creativity. When: Tuesday, 10 November 2026, 9:00 AM Where: EGCI – Istrian Gastronomic Education Centre, Gortanov brijeg 1, Pazin Registration: via the EGCI website (egci.azrri.hr)
