Citterio Prosciutto Cubetti
What it is
These are small, pre-cut cubes of Italian dry-cured ham. Prosciutto is made from pork leg that is salt-cured and then aged. The cubetti form is convenient for quick use in various dishes. They offer a savory, slightly salty flavor profile characteristic of high-quality cured meats. The texture is tender and slightly chewy, making them a versatile addition to many meals.
How people cook with it
These convenient cubes are perfect for adding a burst of savory flavor to your cooking. They are ready to use straight from the package.
- Topping for salads
- Ingredient in pasta dishes
- Garnish for soups
- Added to omelets
The cubetti are already portioned and ready for immediate use. You can toss them directly into hot dishes like pasta sauces or risottos during the last few minutes of cooking to warm them through and release their flavor. For cold applications, such as salads or charcuterie boards, they can be added without any preparation. They also work well folded into scrambled eggs or omelets just before serving, providing pockets of salty richness. Their small size ensures even distribution of flavor throughout your meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike thinly sliced prosciutto, these cubetti offer a more substantial bite and are easier to incorporate into cooked dishes without clumping. Their uniform size also makes them ideal for consistent flavor distribution in recipes where larger slices might be overwhelming or difficult to manage.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs looking for a convenient way to add authentic Italian cured ham flavor to their dishes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion in an airtight container. It is best to consume within a few days to maintain optimal freshness and flavor. Proper storage helps prevent the prosciutto from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator.
