Ham is one of the oldest cured meats, and Parma ham is certainly the most famous. Cavalier Umberto Boschi, that guards ancient family traditions, continues to produce its products by hand. The exclusive line of Cantina di Umberto e Rosa 1922 includes hams produced exclusively with selected thights. In addition to this, the secret is the climate of Langhirano, the piedmont area of production.
When cut, the colour is halfway between pink and red, with parts of white fat, which guarantees its softness. Its taste is delicate and sweet, and this is the main feature of this product.
The Parma Ham of the exclusive line of Cantina di Umberto e Rosa 1922, aged for a minimum of 24 months, has a unique sweetness.
Remove part of the rind with a sharp knife. We suggest not removing all the fat, because it helps to preserve the unique flavour. The slices must be thin (thickness of a sheet of paper).
Prosciutto di Parma can be used in many preparations, from the simple, quick and tasty mid-afternoon sandwich to the more elaborate and refined menus. In Parma, it is usually enjoyed with hot torta fritta, accompanied by typical local wines, such as Lambrusco, Malvasia, or a Lambrusco Rosè.
How to store it: the product vacuum packed can be stored until the best before date in the package. Once opened, the product must absolutely be stored in the refrigerator, at a temperature between + 4 ° C and + 8 ° C. For a perfect storage, we suggest to lightly oil the cut part, then cover it with a plastic film for food.
