With its full-bodied flavour and silky texture, Prosciutto di Parma DOP – also called Parma Ham – is a world-class specialty food. By law, Prosciutto di Parma can be produced only in the province of Parma (located in the Emilia-Romagna region of north-central Italy.) Each step in production, from the breeding of the pigs through processing to the final packaging, is closely monitored and controlled. Only two ingredients are needed to make Prosciutto di Parma: specially bred Italian pigs and salt. Prosciutto di Parma qualifies as a 100-percent natural product; additives such as sugar, spices, smoke, water and nitrites are prohibited. Making a Parma ham is a long and painstaking process — at least one year.
Prosciutto di Parma DOP is not only tasty with an incomparable texture, but it is also owner of the European Community certification since 1996 and is proud to be one of the first meat products to be awarded the Designation of Protected Origin status (DOP).
