Prosciutto [proh-shoo-toe]

An Italian cured ham made from the hind leg of a pig, with an intense, slightly sweet saltiness. You don’t get much for your money but every mouthful tastes wonderful, especially as part of an antipasti platter. Parma ham is a kind of prosciutto, and must be made from pigs raised in Emilia-Romagna or Lombardy according to strict rules.
