About Prosciutto cotto
Prosciutto Cotto is a delicately flavored, cooked Italian ham renowned for its tender texture and mild taste. Unlike its raw counterpart, prosciutto crudo, prosciutto cotto undergoes a slow steaming or boiling process, often seasoned with herbs and spices to enhance its natural savoriness. Originating in Italy, this versatile meat is a staple in traditional Italian cuisine, frequently used in sandwiches, salads, and as a pizza topping. Nutritionally, prosciutto cotto is a source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, and provides vitamins such as B6 and B12. However, it is typically high in sodium due to its curing process, so moderation is advised, particularly for those with cardiovascular concerns. Low-fat versions of prosciutto cotto may offer a healthier alternative for individuals monitoring their fat intake. Its convenience and balanced flavor make it a popular choice for charcuterie lovers seeking a refined, yet approachable, option.
