About Presunto
Presunto is a cured ham originating from Portuguese cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavor and delicate texture. Made from pork, presunto undergoes a meticulous curing process involving salting and air-drying, which can last several months. This traditional method enhances its deep, savory taste while ensuring a longer shelf life. Presunto is often enjoyed thinly sliced as part of appetizers, tapas, or sandwiches. Nutritionally, presunto is a good source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. It also contains vitamins and minerals like zinc and iron, which support immune health and energy production. However, presunto is high in sodium due to the curing process, which may not be suitable for individuals monitoring their salt intake. It is also relatively high in fat, including saturated fat, so moderation is key when considering its place in a balanced diet.
