The KING of Parma cured meats par excellence... it's not for nothing that he has a crown!

Attention to detail and the curing process; a passion for an age-old craft rooted in age-old traditions passed down from generation to generation; the balanced aromas and flavors of a rich and generous land; and the quality and careful selection of the raw materials used. These are the elements that make Prosciutto di Parma one of the most iconic Made in Italy products, and the most appreciated and renowned worldwide.

Parma Ham (from the Latin perexsuctum, literally "dried") is a delicious, healthy, and authentic product. No preservatives or additives have ever been used, resulting in a flavorful and completely natural product. These two ingredients are complemented by the skill of our master salters and the dry, delicate air of the fragrant Parma hills, the traditional production area. The uniqueness of this extremely limited area lies precisely in its ideal climatic conditions for the natural curing process, which gives Parma Ham its unmistakable sweetness and flavor. This PDO product undergoes a rigorously controlled process, culminating in careful inspection and the branding of the ducal crown, an unmistakable symbol that distinguishes it and offers consumers confidence and assurance of the product's absolute excellence and authenticity.

Kitchen:

What more could you add to Parma Ham? Nothing! To truly appreciate it, it must be eaten plain or accompanied by butter and toast, or with melon, fragrant figs, or exotic fruits—like papaya—depending on local availability. Enjoyed this way, it's a unique and inimitable dish.

Naturally, chefs also use Parma ham in culinary preparations as an ingredient of great prestige and distinction. It can add personality to a simple or elaborate dish, whether traditional or creative.

Which wines to pair? Both whites and reds pair perfectly! A fruity Lambrusco, a dry Malvasia, or a sweet Fortana from the hills of Parma and Piacenza are ideal accompaniments for Parma Ham, but in any region of Italy or the world, Prosciutto pairs wonderfully with local wines. To name a few, Tuscan reds, whites from Veneto or Alsace, or even wines from Lorraine, even Champagne, which can create a sublime and refined banquet. Furthermore, to ensure a better choice, consider the occasion: if it's a matinee, a white wine will be more appropriate, while for a more formal dinner, a full-bodied red is a good choice.
