Prosciutto Crudo and Culatello
There is normal prosciutto crudo, and then there is Piaceri Italiani Prosciutto Crudo.
Dedicated to true cold meat lovers is our selection of top-quality Italian prosciutto crudo, produced in areas covered by the DOP designation, so you can savour the sweetness of the finest pork.
And for those who appreciate the delicacy of the most noble of our local cold meats, Piaceri Italiani has chosen Culatello di Zibello DOP, to transform every meat board into a gourmet dish.
Piaceri Italiani Prosciutto Crudo and Culatello, a slice of excellence
Attention to detail, the importance of the ageing process, the passion for an ancient art passed down from generation to generation, rigorous selection of the raw ingredients, and harmony among the perfumes and flavours forged by the land. Every detail contributes to creating a delicious, healthy, authentic product, made exceptional by the skills of our master curers and an innovative process of meat production.
The best Piaceri Italiani Prosciutto Crudo DOP and our Culatello di Zibello DOP are created this way, from the combination of a generous land, expert hands and state-of-the-art facilities.
An air of authenticity
The air. This is precisely the secret ingredient that makes the difference between a simple cold meat and the best of all the most typical cold meats from the Made in Italy brand.
The light, dry air of the perfumed Parma hills, perfect for the natural ageing that gives Prosciutto di Parma its unmistakable sweetness; the air of the Alps, which fills Prosciutto San Daniele with flavour; the dry air of Tuscany that has persuaded producers of Prosciutto Crudo Toscano DOP to prolong the curing period so that the salt can perfectly penetrate into the meat, guaranteeing the best preservation; the air of the Norcia hills, protected by high mountain ranges that block the humidity from the sea, favouring the ageing process of Prosciutto di Norcia; and finally the foggy air of the Parma countryside, which gives unique notes of sweetness to our Piaceri Italiani Culatello di Zibello.
One slice leads to another
All that remains is to try our cured delicacies: from Piaceri Italiani Prosciutto di Parma DOP, an Italian masterpiece with its 24 months of ageing that give it a delicate, persistent flavour and an intense, refined aroma, to Prosciutto San Daniele DOP, with its delicate pink colour, a pleasant aroma and a not-too-salty, natural, authentic flavour; from Prosciutto Crudo Toscano DOP, characterised by a unique flavour thanks to its notes of spices and aromatic essences typical of the Tuscan region, used during the production process, and its stronger saltiness, to Piaceri Italiani Prosciutto di Norcia IGP, which stands out for its full, unique flavour, savoury but not salty, with a lightly spiced fragrance, perfect to enjoy sliced and paired with an excellent Umbrian red wine. Finally, our Culatello di Zibello DOP, which has a unique flavour, with an intense, mature aroma and a sweet fragrance from the light addition of salt.
