Prosciutto

Prosciutto is a type of dry-cured ham that originates from Italy. Made from the hind leg of a pig, it undergoes a lengthy curing process that involves salting and air-drying, sometimes lasting several months or even years. The result is a tender, flavorful ham that is typically served thinly sliced, often as part of antipasto platters, in sandwiches, or wrapped around fruits and vegetables. Prosciutto has a rich, savory taste and a slightly sweet finish, making it a popular choice in both traditional and contemporary cuisine. Its quality depends on factors like the pig's diet and the curing process.
