Crafted with just two ingredients – specially bred Italian pork leg and sea salt – Prosciutto di Parma is a renowned, air-cured ham made exclusively in Italy. Its all-natural aging process (it ages for a minimum of 400 days without any additives such as nitrates and preservatives) creates a wide variation of flavour profiles and textures, from mild and nutty to mature and full-flavoured, making it a great addition to pizza, sandwiches, salads and much more. As a premium product with PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status from the European Union, Prosciutto di Parma is a testament to authentic Italian tradition and exceptional quality. To ensure authenticity when purchasing packages of pre-sliced Prosciutto di Parma, look for the iconic gold Parma Crown in the upper left corner against a black triangle along with the PDO logo. If there is no crown and PDO logo, it’s not Prosciutto di Parma.
