If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I won a trip to Venice with Valdo Prosecco. We then went to Sirmione sul Garda for a night, then onto delicious Ferrara. Our next stop was Parma where we had a wonderful tour of the city, and then a Verdi tour with Food Valley. My last post was all about culatello and Antica Corte Pallavicinawhich br...
Mum and I (reluctantly) checked out of Palazzo dalla Rosa Pratithe morning of our third day in Parma to drive to a prosciutto factory about 40 minutes outside of the city. If we could have, we would also have gone to visit a Parmigiano maker. However, we simply couldn’t fit everything in during our short stay. The drive to Felino was through beauti...

There are 10 stages in the process of making prosciutti. We didn’t see the first three because the first is the butchering of a certain quality of pig from central Northern Italy. The pigs have to be over 9 months old, about 160kg (no less than 144kg) and not have eaten for 15 hours. The legs are then separated to become proscuitto. Stage 2 is the ...
The pork legs arrive from different locations within Italy and weigh about 15 kg. Only the hind legs are used to make Prosciutto di Parma. The fourth stage in the prosciutto making process is for the pork to go through a salting machine. As soon as the legs come out, more salt is added by a professional (master “salatore”) who knows exactly how and...
Stage 6. After a week, the hams are washed to remove excess salt and impurities. The legs dry naturally unless it’s cold, wet or humid and then special dryers are used.
Stage 7. A second light coating of salt is given to the hams after residual salt has been removed. Note: not all of the legs become Prosciutto di Parma, DOP. Next, the hams hang in specially controlled rooms for almost 3 months. Airflow is critical during this phase. Weight loss during this time is about 8-10%.
Stage 8. Once the hams leave this room, the hardened part of the ham is covered with a coating of lard, salt and pepper. This prevents the outside part of the leg from drying too quickly. After this, the hams are moved to larger cellar rooms that are “room temperature”, which is well-ventilated. The air from the local area cures the meat to give it...
Stage 9. They are then placed in their final destination before become official Prosciutto di Parma hams. This is a darker, cellar like room where they will cure for a minimum of 12 months to 3 years. Can you tell that my mother was happy to be here? Coincidentally, my brother gave my mother an entire Prosciutto di Parma for her birthday the month ...
The 10th and final stage at the end of the yearlong curing process is done by an inspector. He/she must do a quality control check on the prosciutti. A horse bone needle is inserted into five specific places in the ham, and the inspector smells each point. Horse bone is used because it absorbs a scent, but loses it immediately. Lorenzo demonstrated...
The two famous types of Italian prosciutto crudo are: prosciutto crudo di Parma, from Parma, and prosciutto crudo di San Daniele, from the San Daniele del Friuli area, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region.
