The Prosciutto Festival (“Pršutijada”) is a traditional, gastronomic, tourist, and competitive fair of cured meat products, held every year in January in the village of Mačkat, between Užice and Zlatibor. Mačkat is located at an ideal altitude for drying prosciutto, 700 meters above sea level, with a mixed Mediterranean and continental climate, and the area is home to a “wind rose”. The production technology of Užice prosciutto or Zlatibor prosciutto has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. This event has been taking place since 2001. The best Serbian cured meat products are selected at the fair, where the central product is prosciutto, and about 20 producers present Užice beef, pork and sheep prosciutto, bacon, stelja and sausage.
Every year, a rich cultural and artistic program is organized for visitors, as well as a raffle, the main prize of which is a bag of dried meat products.
The organizer of the event is the Association of Dried Meat Products Producers of the Zlatibor District, under the Municipality of Čajetina.
