Prosciutto Di Parma Pio Tosini 1/16

This sweet ham, cured in the town of Langhirano, bears the honorable mark of the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma signifying its exceptional quality and rigorous curing processes. The 4th generation family-owned and operated Pio Tosini company has become one of the most credible and sought-after producers of Prosciutto di Parma and has been in operation for over 80 years. There are only four ingredients that go into this ham and they are Italian pigs, salt, air and time. At Pio Tosini, a curing time of over 660 days (more than 260 days longer than typical prosciutto production) allows for slow and even salt penetration, assuring the sweetness of the hams. Each ham is trimmed, deboned by hand and personally selected. Pio Tosini is known for remaining true to the quality and authenticity of the curing tradition. According to the high standards maintained by the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma, salt is the only preservative used in the processing method. Lesser quality cured hams, that do not carry the prestigious mark of the Consorzio, are cured with chemicals (such as nitrates and nitrites).
