What it is
Prosciutto is a dry-cured ham, typically made from pork. It is salt-cured and air-dried for several months, resulting in a firm texture and a rich, savory flavor. The curing process preserves the meat without cooking.
Why it's used
Prosciutto is often eaten as is, as part of charcuterie boards, or used to add a salty, savory flavor to dishes. It is commonly found in Italian cuisine, wrapped around other foods like melon or cheese, or added to pasta, pizza, and salads.
Health notes
Prosciutto is a processed meat and is high in sodium and saturated fat. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meats as Group 1 carcinogens, meaning there is sufficient evidence that they cause cancer in humans. Regular consumption of processed meats has been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. The FDA does not specifically regulate prosciutto as an additive, but it is subject to general food safety regulations.
Allergen info
Prosciutto is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
