Origin

In Italian, “prosciutto” means ham. The origins of Prosciutto Crudo date back to pre-Roman times when villagers dry-cured pork legs with salt and spices to preserve them for the winter. The curing process, which includes aging for 14 to 36 months, gives Prosciutto Crudo its tender texture and sweet, buttery flavor. Today, this iconic Italian ham is celebrated worldwide for its quality and authenticity.
