PROSCIUTTO PARMA (LB)

I was skeptical about pricey prosciutto, but the way this one melts on the tongue is unreal. The sweetness and delicate saltiness are perfectly balanced, no chewy bits at all.

The salt-curing process gives this Parma ham that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the rind is surprisingly easy to trim. It's the real deal from the protected region, not some imitation. A little goes a long way on a charcuterie board.

I’ve been buying Parma ham for years, but this one is noticeably more tender and less chewy than typical prosciutto. The protected region really does make a difference in the depth of flavor.
