Whole pork legs salt-cured, wood-smoked and dried in the karst bura wind for 12 to 18 months, then sliced paper-thin and served at room temperature with olive oil, hard cheese and bread.
Dalmatian pršut has been produced in the karst hinterland villages of Drniš, Sinj and Imotski for centuries, distinguished from the Istrian version by its wood-smoke step. Drniš pršut holds protected status. Split konobas serve it as the opening plate of every meal; Sperun Eat and Drink and Bokeria Wine Cellar both run notable boards.
