Šibenik, 17 April 2025 – Who makes the best pršut (prosciutto) in Croatia this year? We’ll find out on 25 April in Šibenik, the proud host of the 11th Croatian Pršut Days.

This traditional event, organised by the Croatian Pršut Cluster, has been celebrating the rich heritage and exceptional quality of Croatian pršut for over a decade—bringing together producers, experts, and food lovers alike.

The spotlight is exclusively on protected pršuts, and Croatia boasts four of them. Krk, Drniš, and Dalmatian pršuts all hold the EU’s Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), while Istrian pršuts carries the prestigious Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) label.
