History & Origin Hailing from the culinary heart of Emilia-Romagna, this Prosciutto di Parma DOP is a masterpiece of minimalism. Crafted using only premium Italian pork and sea salt, it is aged naturally for 18 months in the unique microclimate of the Parma hills. This time-honored process, protected by centuries of tradition, yields a ham renowned for its softness and authentic Emilian character.
At 18 months of aging, the prosciutto is known for its delicate sweetness. It has not yet developed the intense savory notes of older hams, making it approachable, soft, and perfectly balanced for those who appreciate a gentler, fresher cured meat flavor.
We adhere strictly to the DOP regulations, using only two ingredients: premium Italian pork legs and sea salt. There are absolutely no artificial preservatives, nitrates, or additives used in the curing process.
The 18-month aging process preserves the moisture of the meat, resulting in a tender and pliable texture. The slices are soft and melt easily in the mouth, showcasing true Italian craftsmanship.
DOP stands for Denominazione di Origine Protetta (Protected Designation of Origin). It guarantees that this product was produced, processed, and packaged exclusively in the Parma region of Italy, following strict traditional methods.
Its delicate sweetness pairs best with fresh, contrasting flavors. Serve it with sweet fruits like melon or pears, or pair it with soft, creamy cheeses like fresh mozzarella or ricotta and a glass of crisp Pinot Grigio.
