Handmade Product
The one and only Drniš Pršut, from Croatia. Most notably served at HM Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding (1947) and coronation (1953) ceremonies.
Traditional Croatian dry-cured ham, smoked - from the mountainous region of Drnis. Ancient Romans were the ones who began curing and salting their ham along the Mediterranean coast, calling is ‘perexuctus’. Only superb quality thighs are used for this delicacy; they must be sourced locally and weigh more than 11-16 kilograms. The ham is salted with both fine and coarse sea salt, pressed with weights; after which it is left to be smoked by smoldering beech trees, oaks or hornbeam. The smoking process is a distinction compared to the prosciutto originating in Italy. Following that, the prsut is placed outside in the wind to be thoroughly dried, for at least 12 months.
Its characteristic aroma, flavour and texture is attributed to a unique mixture of two distinct local types of wind that the ham is left to be dried by. The cold and dry Bora, coming from the north-east and the warm and humid Jugo, arriving from the south - make for a balancing act, allowing the prsut to mature into an extraordinary delicacy.
