This is prosciutto di Parma from Pio Tosini. The Tosini family has cured legs of prosciutto for over 110 years in the small town of Langhirano in Emilia Romagna, Italy.
The curing process uses less salt than many prosciutto producers use. To develop sweetness, the ham cures for a longer period: 20 months, which is almost seven months longer than most other prosciutto.
It cures in a curing house with open windows. Dry sea breezes roll across the hills and through the chestnut and pine forests of Langhirano and into the house.
