The history and region of Prosciutto di Parma production are what set it apart from other prosciutti around the world. Learn how Parma is one-of-a-kind through four ingredients: pork, salt, air and time.

What sets Prosciutto di Parma apart from all other hams is the unique terroir in which it is cured, the specially bred Italian pigs and of course, the ingredients, one of which we describe as “air.”

Among each section of the leg are varying flavors and textural experiences. Learn how, as Prosciutto di Parma ages, the flavor becomes sweeter and more complex.
