About Parmaham

Parmaham, known as Prosciutto di Parma, is a dry-cured Italian ham originating from the Parma region of Italy, celebrated worldwide for its delicate flavor and silky texture. Made from high-quality pork legs, it is cured with sea salt and aged for a minimum of 12 months, creating its characteristic sweetness and complexity. Parmaham is rich in protein and contains essential vitamins like B6 and B12, important for energy metabolism and red blood cell production. It is also low in carbohydrates, making it a popular option for low-carb diets. However, like most cured meats, it is high in sodium and saturated fats, which may not suit those managing heart health or salt-sensitive conditions. Enjoyed as a classic ingredient in Italian cuisine, Parmaham adds depth to appetizers, pasta dishes, and salads. Moderation is key to balancing its nutritional benefits and indulgent qualities.
