Description

A large portion of Prosciutto San Daniele containing the “heart” of the product, in a format ready for slicing.

It is obtained from a whole boneless Prosciutto from which the initial parts of the fiocco and butt are cut away, leaving the centre of the product intact and keeping the rind on for better storage.

Packaged boneless Prosciutto can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. Once opened, store in the refrigerator (+4° to +7°C), placing a damp cloth or thin film over the sliced end and consume within about a month.

Slice by hand, or better still, with a meat slicer, remembering to remove the rind as you go.

The best way to enjoy it is on its own, thinly sliced with breadsticks or bread and a good dry white wine such as Sauvignon or Friulano. It goes wonderfully well with figs, melon, kiwis, apples, grapes and pears. But serving it with pickles should be avoided: their acidulous taste masks the prosciutto’s sweet flavour and aroma. Cut into small strips or diced it becomes the special ingredient in pasta sauces, gnocchi, crêpes and vegetable or bean soups.

Do you know why Prosciutto is called that? There are many and often very different etymology theories, but they all seem to agree that the word prosciutto derives from the term “prosciugato” meaning “dried’. A clear reference to its special processing: once selected, the pork leg is cooled and salted for optimal storage. A technique already known to the Celts that lasts to this day.
