Making Prosciutto at home - Traditional, Natural way

Remove the bone from the pork leg carefully to ensure it dries and cures better.

Trim any loose pieces of meat from the pork leg.

Salt the pork leg generously with approximately 1.5 kilograms (3 pounds) of iodized table salt.

Place the salted pork leg in a tub and press it down with a board and weight to shape it properly.

Let the pork leg sit under press for seven days and seven nights in a cool, dry place.

After seven days, remove the pork leg from the salt and prepare for the next step.
