📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Njeguški pršut is a cured ham made in the Montenegrin mountain village of Njeguši, smoked over beech wood and then dried in a climate where sea breezes meet cold mountain winds. It's served with aged cheese from the same village (njeguški sir), along with olives and homemade spirits, to welcome guests.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a stone house in a Montenegrin mountain village, sliced ham, cheese, and olives are arranged on a wooden board as the Adriatic glimmers far off through the window.
