WHAT IS PROSCIUTTO?
But really quick, what is prosciutto? Pronounced as “pro-shoo-tow”, in it’s simplest definition is an Italian meat. It’s a pinkish red color with a small amount of marbled fat throughout the meat and on the edges. It’s a dry-cured ham and usually is served as paper-thin slices. That flavor is salty, but a milder flavor than bacon.
It’s different than pancetta which comes from the belly of the big. Prosciutto comes from the hind leg. Prosciutto is salt-cured and air-dried so it is safe to eat without needing to cook it or apply heat.
