Eva Jadranska Plava Riba sardine and anchovy pate

EVA is a legendary brand in the Southeast European region, specifically known for its high-quality canned fish products since its inception in the mid-20th century. The product shown, Jadranska Plava Riba, features Adriatic blue fish (sardines and anchovies) and is a staple in the Mediterranean diet across the Balkans.

Originally a brand of the Mirna Rovinj fish processing company in Croatia, it was acquired by the food giant Podravka. Podravka, headquartered in Koprivnica, Croatia, is one of the leading food companies in Central and Southeast Europe. The branding often features a sea-faring character (Walrus) that has been a recognizable trademark for decades. Manufacturing remains concentrated in Croatia to maintain the authenticity of the local fish sourcing and traditional recipes.
