Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Montenegro

Ask what Montenegro eats and the answer starts with this: mountain smoked ham, cheese and cornmeal meet Adriatic seafood and Skadar-country wine. Look for Njeguški pršut (smoke-cured ham air-dried in Njeguši village), Kačamak (potato-cornmeal porridge beaten with kajmak and cheese) and Cicvara (rich creamy cornmeal and young cheese porridge). Smoked and wind-dried in the village of Njeguši on Mount Lovćen, where sea and mountain air meet; the village is the Petrović dynasty’s birthplace.
