This substantial 16 oz (1 lb) sharing pack features paper-thin slices of whole-muscle pork leg, cured patiently according to rigorous, centuries-old traditions where the pure mountain air does all the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe Superior Choice: Authentic Italian Curing vs. Domestic \"Italian-Style\" Prosciutto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhen shopping for charcuterie, it is easy to get tricked by domestic, supermarket cured hams that use Italian-sounding names and flags on their packaging. However, domestic hams produced here in the US can be highly processed and often take non-traditional shortcuts to save money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eTo speed up production, domestic factories often resort to artificial acceleration, using heavy doses of chemical nitrates, nitrites, and artificial preservatives to mimic a cure in a fraction of the time. This shortcuts the natural drying process, leaving the meat with a rubbery, stringy texture, a shiny, slimy surface wetness, and an aggressively metallic, harsh saltiness that overpowers the pork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eBoschi Fratelli strictly rejects these industrial shortcuts. Their Prosciutto Crudo is an authentic, 100% natural import made using only two ingredients: select pork and pure sea salt. As Italian Prosciutto is a domain protected product, this ingredient list is mandated by the Italian government. No nitrates, no nitrites, and absolutely no chemical acceleration. By allowing the meat to age slowly over many months in the specific microclimate of Parma, the moisture evaporates naturally. This creates a dense, velvety texture, a gorgeous deep rose hue, and a remarkably sophisticated, sweet flavor profile that melts away cleanly on the palate instead of feeling rubbery or overly salty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eBoschi Fratelli has an artisan curing heritage. Founded in Felino (Parma) in 1901, the master curers of Boschi Fratelli hand-select each heavy whole pork leg muscle. The meat is meticulously rubbed with sea salt and left to cure for many months, relying on a delicate balance of time, temperature, and natural drafts. Because there is no water added or chemical acceleration, the proteins naturally break down over time, unlocking intense umami depth while ensuring the fat remains buttery-sweet, perfectly balancing the savory lean meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Clean Label Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"\u003eBrand: Boschi Fratelli Parma (A legacy of artisanal excellence since 1901)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"\u003eSize: Heavyweight 16 oz (1 Pound) Value Sharing Pack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\"\u003eOrigin: 100% Authentic Product of Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\"\u003eIngredients: Selected Pork Leg, Sea Salt.
