Prosciutto Cotto is a classic Italian cooked ham known for its delicate flavor and tender texture. Unlike Prosciutto Crudo, which is cured and served raw, Prosciutto Cotto undergoes slow cooking, resulting in a moist, mild, and subtly sweet meat. Typically crafted from the hind leg of pigs, it is seasoned with spices and herbs before cooking, which enhances its taste. It is leaner than many cured meats, offering a source of protein with relatively low fat content. However, it can be high in sodium due to the curing process, making moderation key for those monitoring salt intake. Prosciutto Cotto is a versatile addition to meals and is often used in sandwiches, pasta dishes, or served alongside fresh fruits or cheeses in antipasti platters. Its roots in Italian cuisine make it a staple for those who enjoy authentic Mediterranean flavors.
