About Pruscuitto
Prosciutto is a dry-cured Italian ham, renowned for its delicate flavor and velvety texture. Originating from Italy, particularly regions like Parma and San Daniele, this delicacy is traditionally made by rubbing pork legs with salt and allowing them to age for months, enhancing their complex taste. Prosciutto is high in protein, providing essential amino acids ideal for muscle repair and overall health. It also contains important vitamins like B12 and minerals such as zinc and iron. However, prosciutto is also high in sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring salt intake. While it’s relatively low in fat compared to some other cured meats, moderation is key due to its saturated fat content. Often enjoyed thinly sliced, prosciutto is a flavorful addition to antipasti platters, salads, or wrapped around fruits like melon for a savory-sweet pairing.
