ABOUT PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA

Prosciutto di Parma is known for its buttery texture, and salty but sweet flavor. This geographicly-protected product has an incredible history dating back to ancient Rome and sets the standard for cured ham around the world. It is cured for twice as long as other prosciuttos, creating an incredible depth of flavor and has no additives, hormones, or perservatives. Prosciutto di parma only comes from the highest quality Italian pigs and is always branded with the iconic Parma crown at the end of the curing process, signifying it is 100% natural, Italian-bred, pure cured ham.
