Parma Ham

Parma Ham, or Prosciutto di Parma, is a renowned Italian dry-cured ham hailing from the Parma region. Made from specially-bred pigs, it undergoes a meticulous aging process that typically lasts from 12 to 36 months. The ham is characterized by its delicate, sweet flavor and tender texture, resulting from the careful balance of salt and time. Protected by a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, true Parma Ham must adhere to strict production standards, ensuring its quality and authenticity. It is often enjoyed thinly sliced, served as an appetizer, or paired with fruits, cheeses, and wines.
