Parma Ham (PDO) is one of the finest expressions of the Italian art of curing pork. Produced from carefully selected pork legs and aged for a minimum of 18 months in the ideal climate of the Parma hills, it is celebrated for its delicate flavour, unmistakable aroma, and exceptional digestibility.

Its slow, natural curing process relies on just one ingredient—sea salt—highlighting the purity and authenticity of this world-renowned speciality.

The tradition of producing Prosciutto di Parma dates back to ancient times. The Romans praised its exceptional quality, and the word prosciutto is believed to derive from the Latin perexsuctum, meaning “dried,” a reference to the essential curing process. Today, every authentic Parma Ham bears the famous Ducal Crown brand, the official mark that guarantees its origin, quality, and compliance with the strict standards of the Parma Ham PDO Consortium.

Delicious enjoyed simply with a piece of freshly baked focaccia and a glass of Lambrusco, Parma Ham embodies centuries of passion, craftsmanship, and respect for the land—a timeless Italian delicacy that continues to delight food lovers around the world.
