Istrian Ham, known as Pršut, is a traditional dry-cured ham from the Istria region in Croatia. It is made from the hind leg of pigs, which are typically raised in the local area. The curing process involves salting the meat and then air-drying it for several months, often in a cool, windy environment. This method enhances the flavor and preserves the ham. The unique taste of Istrian Ham is influenced by the region's climate and the specific herbs used during the curing process. It is often served thinly sliced as an appetizer or paired with local cheeses and wines, making it a popular delicacy among locals and visitors alike.
