    Montenegrin Prsut

    Montenegrin prsut is considered to be the national meat of Montenegro.  The famous dry-cured ham is similar to prosciutto which is popular in Italy just across the Adriatic sea.  It is said that it is the ocean air that dries the ham to perfection.  It is called Njeguski Prsut because it must come from this village to be the good stuff that Montenegro is famous for. 

    We began our feast with some Montenegrin Prsut, along with some sheep's cheese and black olives.  Of course we served it with a nice red  wine that Montenegro is also famous for.  Many countries like to begin their meals with this combination.  If you can't find the real thing from Montenegro than just substitute some good prosciutto. I found a nice soft sheep cheese that paired beautifully.  Enjoy!
