What it is
This is a package of thinly sliced cured ham. It is made from pork that has been salted and air-dried for an extended period.

The packaging is designed to preserve its freshness and quality.
How people cook with it
Prosciutto is a versatile ingredient that can elevate many meals. It is commonly used in appetizers and main courses.
- Wrapped around melon
- Added to pasta dishes
- Draped over pizzas
- Included in charcuterie boards
To best enjoy prosciutto, allow it to come to room temperature before serving. This helps to release its full aroma and flavor. You can gently separate the thin slices. It pairs wonderfully with fruits like figs or melon, and is often used to wrap around other ingredients to add a salty, savory element. It can be added to cooked dishes towards the end of the cooking process to prevent it from becoming too tough or losing its delicate taste. It is also a popular addition to sandwiches and salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike cooked hams, prosciutto is not cooked. It is cured, meaning it is preserved through salting and air-drying. This process results in a different texture and a more intense, complex flavor profile compared to standard deli ham.
Who it is for
Home cooks and entertainers who appreciate fine cured meats will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any remaining prosciutto tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to maintain its optimal flavor and texture.
