Njeguški pršut is a traditional Montenegrin delicacy that is a must-try for any food lover visiting the country. This dry-cured ham is made from local pork and is aged for several months, giving it a rich and complex flavor. The taste is a combination of salty, smoky, and slightly sweet, making it a perfect pairing with cheese, olives, and bread. The village of Njeguši in Lovćen Mountain is known as the birthplace of the royal dynasty Petrović and a ‘guardian’ of the authentic architecture and cuisine in the region. Njeguški sir and pršut (cheese and prosciutto of Njeguši) are both genuine contributions to Montenegrin cuisine, produced only in this area, following the traditional recipe. A tasting of this delicious treat is a must-do experience while visiting Lovćen.
