Volpi Prosciutto Americano is made using the same old-world method as traditional Italian prosciutto ham that originates in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The only difference is that Volpi Prosciutto uses all-natural pork from regional heirloom farms. Like its true Italian counterparts, Volpi Prosciutto is the product of a long, unhurried drying process lasting up to 12 months. Each ham is carefully inspected and hand-trimmed by their master salumiere. It is then carefully rubbed and salted to ensure an air-dried, even cure. The result is a softer, sweet flavor that melts in your mouth.
