Parma: PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA, Parma Aside from Parmas famous Parmesan cheese, the prosciutto or ham of Parma, is without a doubt the citys most famous gastronomic product. According to Italian law this ham can only be produced around Parma. Its extraordinary flavor was first noted by an author in 100 B.C. Four simple ingredients are needed to make Prosciutto di Parma: pigs, salt, air (specifically the cool, sweet air of the Parma countryside) and time (300 days minimum). The list of what isn't allowed is much longer: no spices, smoke, sugar, water, nitrites, or any of the additives associated with modern ham production. Though the word prosciutto" simply means ham in Italian, it comes from the verb "prosciugare", "to dry" - referring to the air-dried curing process. The rosy-colored Prosciutto di Parma, with its earthy sweetness and slightly spicy aroma is widely considered to be the world's best ham. The texture of prosciutto di Parma is just as important as the taste; supple and silky.
