Prosciutto is a dry-cured ham originating from Italy, known for its delicate texture and rich, savory flavor. Traditionally made from pork legs, it undergoes a meticulous curing process that can take several months to produce its signature taste. Commonly enjoyed thinly sliced, prosciutto is a staple in Italian cuisine, often paired with fruits, cheese, or wrapped around vegetables. It is relatively high in protein and offers small amounts of vitamins like B6 and minerals such as zinc and iron. However, it is also high in sodium, which is a consideration for those monitoring their salt intake. As a processed meat, prosciutto should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its distinct flavor makes it an excellent addition to recipes or charcuterie boards, adding elegance with just a few slices.
