About Parma prosciutto

Parma Prosciutto, or Prosciutto di Parma, is a delicately cured Italian ham originating from the Parma region in Italy. Crafted from high-quality pork legs and preserved with sea salt, this dry-cured meat undergoes an extensive aging process lasting at least 12 months, resulting in its signature tenderness and sweet, nutty flavor. Renowned for its simplicity and authenticity, it contains no additives or preservatives beyond salt. Rich in protein and essential vitamins like B6 and B12, it can be a lean source of nourishment when consumed in moderation. However, like many cured meats, it is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, so portion control is key for maintaining a balanced diet. Enjoyed thinly sliced, Parma Prosciutto is a staple in Italian cuisine, enhancing dishes like melon, pasta, and charcuterie boards with its irresistible aroma and taste.
