The fresh hams are firstly dry-brined with sea salt and spices, then air-dried, not smoked, in total undergoing the ripening process for at least 12 months. The age of ‘Istarski pršut’ is counted from the first day of brining.

C 155/4 EN Official Journal of the European Union 1.6.2013 ‘Istarski pršut’ is elongated in shape because it also contains the pelvic bones. The foot is detached in the tarsal joint, and the rind is also removed except for the part under the tarsal joint (10-15 cm). The ham has correctly rounded edges, flat surfaces that are clean or with a thin layer of mould, which influences ham's longer shelf life. The muscle tissue sectional view has uniform pink-red colour without any pronounced discoloration, and fat tissue must be white. ‘Istarski pršut’ has distinctive characteristic smell of the dried ripe pork meat and herbs. It has a typical full, intense flavour and moderate salinity. When the product is ready for sale it has the following physical-chemical properties: water content must be less than 55 %, the content of sodium chloride less than 8 % and water activity (aw) must be under 0,93. ‘Istarski pršut’ must weigh at least 7 kg at the time when it is being placed on the market. 3.3. Raw materials (for processed products only) ‘Istarski pršut’ is produced from pigs' fresh ham: offspring of pure breed Swedish Landrace, German Landrace and Large White from domesticated breeding; two-breed crosses between these breeds; backcross between these breeds; three-breed crosses between F1 generation (Landrace x Large White) x Duroc breed; The average body mass of pigs in groups at slaughtering must be in the range of 180 kg ± 10 % and the pig must be at least nine months old. Fresh hams are processed in a way that the pelvic bones are left (ilium, ischial and pubic), while the sacrum bone and caudal vertebrae are removed. The sacrum bone is removed cutting through in the sacroiliac joint and the foot is cut in the tarsal joint. The rind and the subcutaneous tissue are removed from the ham up to 10-15 cm from the tarsal joint. The processed fresh ham must weigh at least 13 kg. 3.4. Feed (for products of animal origin only) During the fattening phase, the pigs used for ‘Istarski pršut’ production are fed with compound. All ingredients of the compound feed, except minerals, vitamins and other additives, must originate from the area allowed for pig raising and mentioned in Section 4. The origin of all ingredients has to be traceable from the production place to the stable and verified by the authorised certification body. In the last fattening phase (above 110 kg), it is permissible to replace up to 50 % of corn with barley. Apart from that, wheat or wheat bran, fresh clover and alfalfa, pumpkins, cabbages, fodder beet, sugar beet pulp, whey and cooked potatoes can be used for feeding the pigs. It is forbidden to use brewer's spent grain and swills for fattening the pigs. 3.5.
