The prosciutto, prepared on the Croatian island of Krk, is already a trademark within the European Union. From now on the local delicacy will be prepared in a strictly regulated way.

Croatian prosciutto is dried only outdoors, unlike other types that can be smoked. There are many Croatian families who carry out the salty delicacy in this way.

First we salt the meat, after eight days we salt it again and then - after 10 days, we let it dry for 3 months. In the end it matures for a year - says the producer Viekoslav Zhuzhik to btv

The prosciutto is the first Croatian product to be included in the European Union's register of specific foods. To date, this list includes 1,200 products from all Member States.

The Bulgarian products that have a protected culinary brand from the EU are rose oil, Trapezitsa roll, Pangyur sausage, Elena fillet, Gorno Oryahov sudzuk, lyutenitsa with horce on the label.

In order for a particular manufacturer to sell these products with these labels, it must operate in the geographical region specified by the Association.

Protected names are a way for products to bear the same mark and be produced in a strictly regulated manner, which guarantees high-class quality.

Croatia is awaiting the approval of 13 more local delicacies to be included in the register.

The prosciutto is a typical Italian delicacy and as its homeland Italy has also defended the name of some of its brands. Prosciutto from Modena and Prosciutto San Daniele are part of the national wealth of the country and are registered in the EU register.

Prosciutto San Daniele is one of the most famous and prestigious types of prosciutto. Its taste is slightly sweet, unlike others, which are more spicy and salty.

The most suitable season for its production is winter, as the prosciutto of the San Daniele area is one of the best in the world. This is an area around the banks of the Tagliamento River, where it is believed to be the best climate for making this gourmet temptation.
