istrian prosciutto
Istrian prosciutto is a traditional dry-cured ham from the Istria region in Croatia. Made from high-quality pork, it is seasoned with salt and sometimes spices, then air-dried for several months. The unique climate of Istria, with its mild winters and warm summers, contributes to the ham's distinctive flavor and texture.
This delicacy is often enjoyed thinly sliced and served as an appetizer or part of a charcuterie board. Istrian prosciutto pairs well with local cheeses, olives, and wines, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors seeking to experience authentic Croatian cuisine.
