The Battle of Prosciutto: are you for San Daniele or Parma?

By: Francesca Bezzone

Prosciutto crudo, known simply as “prosciutto” or “Parma ham” in English-speaking countries, is one of our Made in Italy’s most renowned products. Who doesn’t know it or hasn’t tried it in a sandwich, on a pizza or layered delicately on a plate, for a perfect snack with fresh bread and some parmigiano?

Prosciutto crudo is produced in several areas of Italy, including Tuscany and the Cuneo province of Piemonte, but there are only two parts of the country that are synonym with it: Parma, in Emilia Romagna, and San Daniele, in Friuli Venezia-Giulia.
