How Applegate Prosciutto is Made

Start the process in the fall by killing the pigs during the cold season to preserve the meat.

Cover the meat with salt to enhance preservation.

Allow the meat to cure over time, from December to August, in a controlled environment.

Apply a mix of pork fat and salt on the exposed surface to prevent drying out.

Use robotic arms to handle the meat during the process.

Shape the cured meat into a brick-like form for optimal slicing and packaging.
