Description
Prosciutto crudo , in English often shortened to prosciutto ( prə- SHOO-toh, proh-, Italian: [proʃˈʃutto]), is uncooked, unsmoked, and dry-cured ham. Prosciutto crudo is usually served thinly sliced.
Several regions in Italy have their own variations of prosciutto crudo , each with degrees of protected status, but the most prized are prosciutto di Parma DOP , from Emilia-Romagna, and prosciutto di San Daniele DOP , from Friuli Venezia Giulia. Unlike speck (Speck Alto Adige PGI) from the South Tyrol region, prosciutto is not smoked. There is also a tradition of making prosciutto in southern Switzerland.
In Italian, prosciutto means any kind of ham, either dry-cured ( prosciutto crudo or simply crudo ) or cooked ( prosciutto cotto ), but in English- speaking countries, it usually means either Italian prosciutto crudo or similar hams made elsewhere. However, the word "prosciutto" itself is not protected; cooked ham may legally be, and in practice is, sold as prosciutto (usually as prosciutto cotto , and from Italy or made in the Italian style) in English-speaking regions.
