Prosciutto Appreciation

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:42:55 GMT

Prosciutto

The word prosciutto, which translates to “ham” in Italian, is made only from the hind legs of pigs and is aged during a dry-curing process. There are typically two types of prosciutto: prosciutto cotto, which is cooked, and prosciutto crudo, which is uncooked, yet cured.

The quality of Bertocchi prosciutto is based on the curing process and strict quality controls that go into the production giving you the quality that we are famous for.

Perfect to top your homemade pizza, served on a charcuterie board or served with slice melon as a refreshing snack
