Bitter Orange Day

As part of this initiative, Sun Gardens Dubrovnik donated a selection of bitter oranges from its gardens, which DEŠA transformed into homemade jam. This jam became the key ingredient in a variety of delicious cakes, lovingly prepared and donated. With all proceeds going to the Women in Need Fund, guests had the chance to savour authentic local flavours while contributing to an important cause.

From Gardens to Cake

By donating part of its harvest, Sun Gardens Dubrovnik helped ensure that these local fruits were put to good use. Thanks to DEŠA’s dedication, the bitter oranges were turned into something truly special - an artisanal jam that became the foundation for delightful desserts enjoyed across the city.

Giving Back, One Sweet Bite at a Time

This initiative beautifully combined sustainability, tradition, and generosity. Each dessert was more than just a treat - it was a symbol of community spirit, proving that small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.

Through Bitter Orange Day, Dubrovnik once again showed how local collaboration can create something truly meaningful, blending heritage with a shared commitment to making a difference - one sweet bite at a time.
