Kuća krčkog pršuta Žužić (House of Krk Prosciutto), Vrh

The Žužić family's prosciutto house in Vrh: hams dry upstairs and mature in a cellar you can see through a glass floor in the restaurant. The name Krčki pršut is protected at EU level (registered 14 April 2015): it is cured with sea salt and spices, air-dried without smoke and matured for at least a year. Žužić was named best Croatian pršut for the third time at the 2024 Days of Croatian Pršut. Tasting menus (pršut, cheese, pâté) were EUR 16–30 in spring 2026. The family butcher's shop is in Krk Town (Zagrebačka bb).

Our tips

• Order the tasting board with the award-winning pršut, then lamb cutlets or homemade pasta.

• For take-home, buy vacuum-packed slices or a whole leg at the family butcher's in Krk Town.
