Parma ham, in Italian Prosciutto di Parma, is a delicious, healthy and typical Italian product. The only ingredients are pork meat from pigs bred and slaughtered in Italy and some salt. There are neither preservatives nor additives used. To these two ingredients, they only add the manual dexterity of the ham manufacturers and the dry air of the gentle hills around Parma, the typical production area.
The uniqueness of this rather limited area are the special climatic conditions, which are ideal for the natural maturation of the ham and this inimitable tender and delicate taste of Prosciutto di Parma DOP. To obtain the DOP designation, strict standards must be followed during the production process and tests must be passed. At the end, the ham gets the distinctive emblem of the crown so that the customer can see the sign for high quality and authenticity at first glance.
