Traditional International Prosciutto Fair - ISAP 2011

Home-made Istrian prosciutto fair

For a long time the home-made Istrian prosciutto has been the most valuable product and the one the Istrian gastronomic offer has been most proud of. Prosciutto has been considered and recognized as a symbol of perfection, the Istrian people call it vijulin, meaning violin. It has earned its royal status due to its taste, smell, colour, the right softness and freshness. Its prestigious position among gourmets it owes to its producers strictly following the traditional rules. In its honour the Municipality of Tinjan traditionally organizes the International Prosciutto Fair - ISAP.

Apart from the renowned Croatian producers of prosciutto, prosciutto producers from several European countries will take part in this year's manifestation, while this year's ''Prosciutto Partner'' is the well-known Vulcano prosciutto from the Austrian Auersbach.

Along with the all-day sports, cultural and entertainment programme, and the presentations of numerous participants, during the three days the fair will offer numerous tastings as well as professional lectures.
