Prosciutto di Parma PDO is Italy's most celebrated cured ham, aged a minimum of 16 months in the historic Parma region. This whole leg weighs approximately 19 lbs and represents the pinnacle of traditional Italian charcuterie.
The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) guarantees that all parts of the production, processing and preparation process take place in the specific region.
Only pigs raised in the Parma area can produce authentic Prosciutto di Parma. The region's unique valleys and climate create ideal curing conditions, resulting in a perfectly balanced flavor—neither too sweet nor too salty.
The simple ingredient list—cured pork and salt—speaks to the artisanal approach. No additives, no shortcuts. Just time-honored tradition and natural aging that develops the ham's signature delicate, complex taste.
A versatile classic: enjoy it paper-thin with fresh melon on a summer evening, layer it onto Italian pizzas, or feature it as the centerpiece of an antipasto board. Prosciutto di Parma elevates any occasion.
