Something of ours

Dopo Dropo is a project of nature lovers and gastronomic enthusiasts with respective careers in financial consulting. At one point in their lives, they decided that they wanted to make their own investment in producing “something natural”.

“Dopo Dropo is a project that has grown organically and evolved in multiple directions to eventually become what it is today. Throughout the story it has become SOMETHING OF OURS that reflects our shared values and attitudes toward life and something we want to leave to other generations and with which, at the end of the day, we proudly return to our families.

Dopo Dropo is our story of creating new value, caring for sustainability and living in harmony with nature and its cycles. It fills us with positive energy, brings us back into balance and reminds us of the importance of the intangible. “

Throughout the years of business, my restaurant Pelegrini has become recognizable for its numerous collaborations with Croatian producers. Dopo Dropo fits perfectly into our culinary philosophy because local flavor is the king of our cuisine. One needs to be aware of one’s environment. That is why we are constantly working to increase the network of local producers as one of the backbones of our kitchen.
