The Tradition and Craftsmanship
Crafted in the hills of Parma, Italy, Prosciutto di Parma is made from the finest-quality pork, sourced from special heritage pigs. The unique micro-climate of the Parma region, along with the expertise passed down through generations, contributes to the exceptional flavor and texture of our prosciutto. Each ham is carefully inspected and stamped with the official Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma seal, guaranteeing its authenticity and adherence to strict production standards.
Preserving Centuries of Heritage
Ermes Fonatana takes pride in preserving the rich heritage of Prosciutto di Parma, which dates back to Roman times. The process begins with selecting the best-quality pork hams, which are then hand-trimmed to remove excess fat, leaving just the right amount for flavor and moisture. The hams are then salted by hand, allowing the salt to cure the meat over time. This slow curing process, combined with the natural breezes of the Parma region, creates the unique taste and texture that sets Prosciutto di Parma apart.
The Art of Air-Drying
After the curing process, the prosciutto is carefully washed and left to air-dry for months in temperature-controlled aging rooms. During this time, the flavors deepen, and the meat develops its signature sweetness and tenderness. The final result is a beautifully marbled prosciutto with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a delicate balance of flavors.
Versatile and Elegant
Prosciutto di Parma is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in numerous ways. It adds a touch of elegance to antipasto platters, pairs perfectly with melon or figs for a refreshing appetizer, and enhances the flavors of pasta dishes, risottos, and pizzas. Its delicate and savory profile also makes it a delightful addition to sandwiches and wraps. The possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination.
