Ready-to-eat, just open and serve!

We are so proud to sell our pasture raised heritage hams to some of the best artisans in the world.

If you love prosciutto like what can be found in Italy, you will love the Volpi 100% heritage breed prosciutto boasting an intense earthiness and a subtly sweet and nutty flavor — the ham is hand-rubbed, salted, and air dried for a perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture.

When hams are salted and hung to dry for over a year, they begin to acquire a deep red color and multilayered exquisite flavor. Perfect eaten alone or draped over melon these slices are considered by hundreds of chefs coast-to-coast as the best on the market today. Since all the moisture is removed during the drying process, our sliced prosciutto does not need to be cooked and is ready to eat.

Ingredients: pork, sea salt.

• Humanely raised on pasture by independent family farmers

• 100% antibiotic-free with no nitrates or nitrites

• Heritage pork has more marbling resulting in more tender and juicy meat

Artisan

In 1898, John Volpi arrived in America from his home in Milan, Italy, bringing with him little more than a craft and a vision. Having learned from his elders the ancient European art of dry curing, John had a dream of importing the centuries-old traditions across the ocean — thus continuing to serve his customers once they migrated to America.

In 1957, upon John’s passing, his nephew, Armando Pasetti, took the helm of the company, which had become a thriving business. In 1980, he continued to meet consumer demand by bringing Volpi Foods national, and enlisted his daughter to help run the manufacturing plant. An eager pupil, Lorenza studied first-hand the techniques behind Volpi’s premium meats — and supplemented her culinary expertise with an MBA from Washington University.
