About Prosciutto
Prosciutto is a dry-cured ham originating from Italy, often celebrated for its delicate flavor and silky texture. Traditionally made from pork, it is cured with salt and aged for months to develop its distinct taste. Prosciutto is typically sliced paper-thin and served uncooked, making it a staple in Italian cuisine, whether wrapped around melon, paired with cheese, or used in pasta dishes. Nutritionally, prosciutto is high in protein and rich in B vitamins, especially vitamin B12, which supports red blood cell production. However, it is also high in sodium due to the curing process, which may not be suitable for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Additionally, as a fatty meat, it contains saturated fat, so moderation is key. Despite being minimally processed compared to many deli meats, prosciutto should be consumed as part of a balanced diet.
