Parma Ham PDO

Our Prosciutto di Parma (available in joints of approximately 1.5/1.8 kg) is a true classic of Italian culinary tradition; its sweet and delicate taste has made it over time a symbol of our country appreciated all over the world. The production specification for Prosciutto di Parma strictly defines the requirements for the raw material, the areas of supply and processing, the production techniques, and the controls at the end of curing. Only after a careful examination aimed at verifying the regularity of the previous stages and the achievement of the unmistakable and peculiar organoleptic requirements of Parma is the unmistakable branded iron mark applied, consisting of a 5-pointed crown. Prosciutto di Parma is guaranteed by a Consortium that protects and controls its production and quality. Prosciutto di Parma is something truly special, a genuine food, sweet and savory at the same time. Once curing is complete, the best hams can be adorned with the characteristic five-pointed Ducal Crown branded with an iron, which represents for the consumer the final guarantee, the quality of this extraordinary product. The thin slice presents itself pink in the lean part and white in the fatty part. The fat of Prosciutto di Parma should never be discarded; on the contrary, we can say that we can fully enjoy the prosciutto only when we taste every part of it, also remembering that it is unsaturated fat.
