Prosciutto
Prosciutto is a traditional Italian dry-cured ham made from high-quality pork legs that are salt-cured and air-dried for several months to develop its signature flavor. Unlike smoked hams, this delicacy remains uncooked, achieving a silky texture and complex balance of sweet and savory notes through extended aging. While rich in protein and naturally gluten-free, its high sodium content and saturated fat levels warrant moderate consumption. The thinly sliced meat is typically served uncooked as part of charcuterie boards, antipasti platters, or wrapped around fruits and vegetables.
