- Is prosciutto cotto the same as prosciutto?
- No. Prosciutto cotto is cooked ham. Prosciutto crudo is dry-cured and never cooked. Cotto is milder, softer and less salty.
- How is it best served?
- Thinly sliced in sandwiches and panini, folded into antipasti, or added to pasta, frittata and pizza after cooking so it stays tender.
- Does it need to be cooked?
- No. It is fully cooked and ready to eat straight from the pack. Heating is optional and mainly for flavor.
- How should I store it?
- Keep it refrigerated and eat within a few days of opening. Sliced cotto dries out quickly, so wrap it tightly.
- Is it salty?
- It is lightly salted, much less so than dry-cured ham. That makes it easy to eat on its own or in a sandwich.
