The company Pršutana Jelenić was founded in 1999 and has been one of the first registered producers of smoked ham authorized to produce prosciutto Violino Istriano, a typical product of the Istrian peninsula. The company's headquarters is located in Sveti Petar: this is precisely the place where, among the woods, the bora wind and the mild climate meet, creating the perfect conditions for the production of this ham.
The Jelenić Istrian prosciutto is produced traditionally following ancient recipes that have been known in the area for centuries: only sea salt and pepper are used to process the meat. No type of preservative is added, only the pure exploitation of the favorable natural micro-climatic conditions of the area, which are necessary to guarantee the quality and recognition of excellence of this product. It is indeed the productive factors linked to the territory that give Istrian prosciutto its unique taste and characteristic aroma, highly recognizable and distinguishing it from all other products.
The Istrian prosciutto produced by Jelenić is of highest quality and precisely because of this characteristic, combined with strict adherence to ancient traditions, it has received many awards and recognitions at local and regional levels, such as the ISAP 2016 gold medal (International Raw Ham Fair held annually in Tinjan) for the best Istrian prosciutto or another gold medal won during the Croatian Prosciutto Days 2016, an event organized by the Tourist Board of the Island of Krk that takes place every year in various tourist locations in Istria.
Istrian prosciutto plays a significant role among gastronomes, a success definitely due to the strict compliance with the traditional production process: pork meat comes only from certified farms, using the thigh which is then subjected to a special processing and flavored with a unique blend of spices before being finally dried. Despite this attention to tradition, Jelenić stands out as a modern company, equipped with refrigerators, spaces dedicated to drying and producing the Istrian Violino prosciutto that utilize extremely advancedtechnologies.
