Production process

The production process takes place at two locations: in the primary production facility in Voštane and the Čaporice facility located in the Čaporice industrial zone near the city of Trilj.

Production facility Voštane

The production facility in Voštane is located at an altitude of 970 meters, where top-quality Dalmatian cured meats are produced under the constant impact of the Bura wind throughout the year. Through the continuous changes of the dry Bura wind, rich in pure aerosols from mountain herbs and the humid south, a product with a distinctive aroma and flavor unique to the micro-location of Voštane is created.


The location at the bottom of Mount Kamešnica, near the village of Voštane, surrounded by almost untouched nature, was chosen due to its exceptional natural conditions (cold and dry winters, fresh and warm summers), which allow for ideal air temperatures and relative humidity in the production facility throughout the entire process of drying, smoking, and aging.


It is characterized by the so-called wind rose, or the constant alternation of the cold and dry Bura wind, which blows from the Kamešnica mountain, bringing air enriched with aromas, pollen, and various aerosols originating from mountain herbs, along with the south wind that brings sea air. In the Voštane facility, the processes of smoking and aging are taking place. Exceptional conditions are created for the production of indigenous Dalmatian delicacies: prosciutto, pancetta, roasted meats, and cured sausages.

Production facility Čaporice

The Čaporice production facility was built in 2012 and is located in the Čaporice industrial zone near the city of Trilj.


The project is envisioned as two separate entities, or rather two phases of production. The wet phase of production is the initial phase of producing cured meat products.


The process begins with the entry of fresh raw materials, during which baseline values such as pH and temperature are monitored. The entire process takes place in a continuous cold mode. The fresh raw material is then salted either manually or mechanically, after which the pressing process, known as “pizanje,” takes place.


The second part of the process is the dry phase, which represents the classic packaging of finished products such as slicing, vacuum sealing, weighing, packing, storing, and distributing finished products.
