This is a whole boneless leg of Prosciutto di Parma from Ferrarini, dry-cured with only pork and salt and aged 18 months in cellars at Lesignano de' Bagni. The DOP seal means it was made in the Parma zone under fixed rules, so it is the same protected category as other Parma hams, not a generic dry-cured ham. Eighteen months is a middle age for Parma: sweeter and softer than a 24-month ham, with less concentrated depth. It suits anyone feeding a crowd or slicing at home with a meat slicer, since a whole leg needs one. Buyers should expect the leg to arrive heavier or lighter than listed and plan to slice it thin.

Owners of whole Parma legs from Ferrarini describe a sweet, mild ham that slices cleanly and holds up on a board, and they value the DOP label. The recurring complaints are weight arriving off from what was listed and the leg drying at the cut end once opened.
