Gastronomic souvenirs of Montenegro

If you go on vacation in Montenegro and want to please your relatives with interesting gifts, we strongly recommend that you avoid shops with magnets and circles, although among them you can find pretty specimens. But authentic gastronomic souvenirs of Montenegro will certainly be all the nicer and will help you to show your taste and make an impression.

So, Montenegro is in the details. How to convey her spirit, soul and mood? Yes, very simply - through her taste. Of course, this is not the only successful gift option, but some of Montenegro's goodies are its national pride. Given the features of Montenegrin cuisine and the hospitality of local residents, we have no doubt that your holiday will turn out to be enchantingly delicious. It will be fair if you share it with loved ones.

Negushsky prosht . Famous for the whole world meat delicacy in the form in which it should be, can only be found here. Import to other countries, unfortunately, does not contribute to preserving the taste qualities of prsut. The technology of its production is truly impressive - huge pork legs completely rid of excess fluids with special clamps, rub garlic, spices and large sea salt, and then long months smoked on beech firewood. Finished meat of noble rich red color is cut into thin plates and packaged in vacuum, after which it can be stored for about three years. Open proshut can only be kept at room temperature, the refrigerator literally destroys the product.

Homemade cheese. Gastronomic souvenirs of Montenegro are also wonderful local cheeses with different interesting additives (vegetables, paprika). To bring an unusual delicacy intact and safe, choose a can of cheese in olive oil.

Olive oil. By the way, Montenegro produces its own olive oil, with which similar products in domestic stores can hardly compete in purity. After all, wonderful fruit-bearing olives grow here, and local people for a long century of practice are very skilled in the production of home-made oil. There is an oil factory in Bar. It is better to choose an oil with an acidity value of 1%, 2% for a salad, but all that is higher is not desirable.

Figs. Delicious dried fruits are national gastronomic souvenirs of Montenegro, especially pleasant for fans of so-called superfoods. Fans of a healthy lifestyle will be just happy to receive a gift from you for packaging this delicacy. Pay attention to the moisture of the product - the figs should not be overdried.

Zinzula . Want to surprise your friends? Bring them a cute local fruit that looks like a few fruits at once. His taste is very calm and soft (something between apple and pear), but looks like a date. It is worth a kilogram of zenzuly very inexpensive - up to 2.5 euros per kilogram.

Wine. Fans of strong drinks will be happy with your presentation, but remember that you will not be able to take a lot of wine. The national nectars of factory production will be provided to you by the Plantage company, but the bouquets are rather scarce. The main advantage of Montenegrin wine is its guaranteed naturalness and benefits to the body.

Rakia. But bottles with local rakia - this is literally the most fun souvenirs of Montenegro. This fruit or berry samogonka perfectly conveys the most that neither is Montenegrin mood and attitude to life. In stores, selling uninteresting brandy for beginners, but homemade house, the fortress closest to the aperitif, is preferred by experienced tourists. If you appreciate the expressive taste, choose pear, apricot or quince juice and buy it exclusively from your hands.

Honey. Forgot what real honey is? Address to Montenegrin beekeepers. However, after it you can hardly eat the store products. Particularly beautiful monastic honey - such as with the apiary near the monastery of Moraca. If you want to present your friends with Montenegrin honey souvenirs - be sure to find black honey collected in the mountains.

Montenegro knows very well what to please real gourmets - they like it tasty, simple, nice and hearty to eat. You can take a piece of this pleasant atmosphere with you in suitcases, but be careful and carefully read the regulations on the export of products from the country.
