Zlato polje – the best from nature for every active day

The best from nature.

Zlato polje is a brand with a long tradition, built on grains, quality and know-how. Its roots go back to 1970, when the first instant polenta came onto the market in the former Yugoslavia, while the tradition of pasta production in Slovenia goes back all the way to 1925.

Over more than half a century, Zlato polje has grown together with its consumers. Today it offers a wide range of grain-based foods — from pasta, rice and polenta to semolina and groats, as well as frozen food — combining quality ingredients, proven know-how and ease of preparation.

100 years of pasta tradition

n 2025, Zlato polje pasta celebrated 100 years of production in Slovenia. Its story began in 1925 with the Pekatete brand, the first true Slovenian pasta brand, and over the decades this tradition, know-how and technology have developed into today's Zlato polje range.

Today, Zlato polje pasta is made from durum wheat semolina and water, combining modern technology with experience that has been passed down through generations in Slovenia.

A hundred years of tradition is proof that a good foundation never goes out of fashion.

Energy for every challenge

Every day brings its own challenges. Some are small, others demand more perseverance. This is especially evident in sport — every training session, every kilometre, every climb and every goal achieved begins with good preparation.
What we put into our bodies matters too. Quality, varied nutrition is part of an active lifestyle and an important foundation for wellbeing and everyday energy.
This is exactly why Zlato polje feels close to sport. Not only elite sport and competition, but every form of movement — from cycling and running to hiking, skiing, or simply spending free time actively.

L'Étape is a great opportunity to put this philosophy into practice. It's a story about movement, perseverance, togetherness and pushing your own limits. Every participant has their own goal and their own path, but they all share the same desire for activity and new experiences.

And just as it holds true in sport, it holds true for Zlato polje too:

Every challenge needs a good foundation.

Zlato polje has been building that foundation for more than a century, on the best nature has to offer, on knowledge and experience, and on an understanding of the modern way of life.

Zlato polje. The best from nature. A good foundation for every day.
