All You Ever Wanted to Know About Prosciutto

Prosciutto is one of the world’s favourite and best-known Italian foods. The history of this cured ham stretches back to pre-Roman times. In northern Italy, in San Daniele, it was the Celtic people who first began curing meat with salt, and in Parma it was the peasants. The traditional process of curing is still practiced like an art form in both of these cities and results in the delicious prosciutto that, when thinly sliced, simply melts in your mouth.
