Seasoned and dry-aged to perfection, prosciutto crudo is never cooked (hence the name crudo which means “raw” Italian). It has a deep red color, marbled with streaks of flavorful fat
Each paper-thin slice is delicately sweet yet intensely flavorful. Serving prosciutto crudo in ultra-thin slices is an intentional decision: as you place a slice in your mouth, the fat melts on your tongue, leaving behind an irresistible texture while the lean part offers your palate a sweet, yet salty, flavor.
Serve prosciutto crudo on an antipasto platter with creamy cheeses, fresh fruit, and floral white wine. This type of prosciutto also works well wrapped around grissini (breadsticks) or served with fresh melon in the summer.
