Raw ham, often referred to as prosciutto in Italian cuisine, is a dry-cured meat typically made from the hind leg of pork. Originating in Italy, prosciutto has a centuries-old tradition and is prized for its delicate flavor and velvety texture. Naturally aged through a careful curing process, it develops a savory taste and is commonly enjoyed thinly sliced as an appetizer or in pastas, salads, and sandwiches. Nutritionally, raw ham is rich in protein and contains essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, it is also high in sodium due to the curing process and contains a noteworthy amount of fat, particularly saturated fat. While it can be part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation, excessive intake may contribute to heart health concerns or elevated blood pressure. Its indulgent taste and artisanal quality make it a celebrated treat in Mediterranean and global cuisines.
