Main Ingredient

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Select the Prosciutto

    Choose a high-quality 18-month aged prosciutto from Parma, ensuring it's properly stored and kept at the right temperature.

  2. 2

    Prepare for Slicing

    Allow the prosciutto to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing. This enhances the flavors and makes it easier to slice.

  3. 3

    Slice the Prosciutto

    Using a sharp knife or a meat slicer, shave the prosciutto thinly. Aim for slices that are about 1-2 millimeters thick for optimal texture and flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the shaved prosciutto on a platter. It can be served on its own or paired with fresh bread, cheese, or fruit.
