Air, salt, time and pork: four natural ingredients expertly combined to create delicious Prosciutto di Parma PDO with its naturally mild and delicate flavour.

Untouched nature surrounding the ham factories, nestled in the Parma hills, at the very centre of Food Valley, combined with the forest air creates the ideal climate for naturally air-curing Prosciutto di Parma PDO as well as its unmistakeable flavour. Here, the hams are processed by true artisans - custodians of a thousand-year heritage passed from father to son - and left in the tender care of sea breezes from the Ligurian coast to cure in peaceful repose. The famous ducal crown brand is a marker of excellence and authenticity characterised by the harmonious balance of flavours and fragrances from a rich and bountiful land and ensured by quality raw materials and slow and careful processing. Parma Ham is only produced in Parma: unique in the world, renowned the world over.
