Prosciutto Cotto

Cultural Context

Prosciutto Cotto, or cooked ham, is a staple in Italian cuisine, especially in regions like Emilia-Romagna. Traditionally made from high-quality pork, it is often enjoyed in sandwiches or as part of charcuterie boards. Its preparation involves brining and slow-roasting, which enhances its flavor and tenderness. While Prosciutto Cotto is cherished in Italy, variations can be found globally, with many countries adopting their unique styles of cooked ham.
