FIOCCO DI PROSCIUTTO

ORIGIN

Fiocco di Prosciutto is one of the finest jewels of Emilian charcuterie, an authentic expression of the gastronomic tradition of the provinces of Parma and Piacenza. It is obtained from the leanest and most prized part of the pork leg, opposite the culatello, and is distinguished by its natural sweetness, delicate aroma, and tender, dry texture. After careful hand-trimming, the Fiocco is salted using traditional methods and left to mature slowly for several months in ventilated, natural environments, where the typical climate of the Po Valley favors the development of its unmistakable aroma.

CHARACTERISTICS

The result is an elegant cured meat with a balanced and harmonious flavor, perfect for those who appreciate authentic yet delicate flavors. Its elongated and compact shape is distinctive, with bright red meat and thin veins of white fat. Sweet, slightly savory, with mellow, lingering aromas, and aged for 6 to 12 months, depending on weight and environmental conditions.
