5 x Sliced Drniš Ruža by Dimmes 100g - Cured Croatian Ham

Traditional Croatian skinless and boneless dry-cured ham, smoked - from the mountainous region of Drnis. It is called Drniska Ruza, which means ‘Rose from Drnis’. The skinless meat used, sets it apart from the prsut. Only superb quality thighs are used for this delicacy; they must be sourced locally and weigh more than 11-16 kilograms. The ham is salted with both fine and coarse sea salt, pressed with weights; after which it is left to be smoked by smoldering beech trees, oaks or hornbeam. Its characteristic aroma, flavour and texture is attributed to a unique mixture of two distinct local types of wind that the ham is left to be dried by. The cold and dry Bora, coming from the north-east and the warm and humid Jugo, arriving from the south - make for a balancing act, allowing the meat to mature into an extraordinary delicacy.
