The prosciutto cotto (cooked ham) is obtained from hog thighs, boned, salted and then cooked: the thighs are the same for the production of the prosciutto crudo (raw ham).

The shape of the cooked ham is rounded, while inside this deli meat is light pink with a thin border of fat which contributes to the fullness of its flavour, delicate but typical, like the perfume that characterizes it.

It is a product recently added to the tradition of Italian delicatessen but despite this it is today the most appreciated by consumers, both for its characteristics and for its gastronomic versatility.

There are also special versions, such as “roast” or “herbal”.
