Parma ham is a typical product of the Parma province. It is on these hills that the legs of the pigs, born, bred and reared, are carefully selected, seasoned, matured and stored.
The Parma pig is fed a special diet of grains and whey. And the resulting hams are hand-trimmed and hand-massaged with sea salt before being aged for 14 months or more.
At the end of the curing process, the hams graduate with the honour of being certified 'Prosciutto di Parma' with a characteristic carnelian red colour and melt-in-your-mouth taste.
The "Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma" is the farmers' union safeguarding the quality and goodness of Parma prosciutto. In order to be entitled to the"Parma prosciutto" distinction, a prosciutto ham must bear the mark representing a five pointed ducal crown, symbol of the Consorzio.
The 6.5kg-7kg Parma ham comes off the bone, ready to eat.
