Local Craft Prosciutto Crudo (Cured Ham Block)

Local Craft Prosciutto Crudo (Cured Ham Block) About 600 gr.

The essence of local butchery tradition, captured in a heart of pure, savory excellence.

Product Profile

This “trancio” (block) represents the finest and most versatile cut of the cured ham. Sourced from pigs raised according to the rhythms of our land, it is hand-processed by local master charcutiers following recipes passed down through generations.

• Appearance: Each slice reveals a deep ruby red color, marbled with noble fat veins ranging from milky white to a soft pearly pink.

• Aging: Matured for a minimum of 16–18 months in natural cellars, where our local hillside air imparts its unmistakable bouquet.

• Aroma: An enveloping, seasoned scent with delicate notes of dried fruits and hints of acorn and forest floor.

• Flavor: Perfectly balanced and never overly salty. The initial sweetness evolves into a complex, savory persistence typical of artisanal craftsmanship.

Artisanal Features

Unlike industrial productions, our local prosciutto stands out for:

1. Hand-Salting: We use only integral sea salt, carefully measured to respect the delicacy of the meat.

2. No Preservatives: Only meat, salt, and the time required for natural maturation.

3. Short Supply Chain: Supporting the local economy while guaranteeing total traceability and animal welfare.

Serving Suggestions

• The Cut: To fully appreciate the texture, it is best sliced thinly—either by hand or slicer—just moments before serving.

• Pairings: Excellent with crusty sourdough bread, fresh figs, or sweet melon. It pairs divinely with a medium-bodied local red wine or a structured, savory white.

• Storage: Once opened, store in the refrigerator wrapped in a cotton cloth or food-grade film, ensuring the cut surface is well covered.

Quality Note: The fat is not an excess, but the guardian of flavor. These veins are what keep the ham tender and release the most intense aromas during tasting.
