Duvan Cvarci

Duvan čvarci is a version of pork cracklings originating from Serbia. Unlike the usual pork crackling, duvan cracklings contain only 10% of fat, which is the reason for their unique flavor. Another distinct feature is their appearance, which is reminiscent of thinly cut tobacco. Just like regular cracklings, duvan cracklings are often served as an appetizer. They’re considered a delicacy because the preparation process takes a long time and results in small quantities of the cracklings. Duvan cracklings are primarily associated with the city of Valjevo, where the Duvan čvarci festival is held every year.
