Prosciutto di Modena DOP

by Mitica. Product of Italy. 

Typically pear-shaped with a deep red color when sliced, Prosciutto di Modena DOP is not made with any additives or preservatives. It is packed full of flavor without being too salty, and has a sweetness that makes it perfect to pair with stronger cheeses

To be considered "Prosciutto di Modena DOP", which stands for Denominazione d’Origine Protetta (protected designation of origin), every step in the production has to be regulated. From salting to curing, it all must take place in the hills and valleys around the basin of the Panaro river, including the provinces of Bologna and Reggio Emilia.

Modena, is a province that is located in the northern region of Emilia-Romagna. The warm, humid summers and colder winters provide this area with an ideal climate for the production of their famous Prosciutto di Modena DOP.

Ingredients: pork leg, salt.
