Organic Parma Ham - without the bone - appx 8kg
Parma Ham. Langhirano, Italy. Organic

Traditional production methods mean that classic Parma ham is one of the most highly prized foods in the world. The pigs have to be raised in a restricted area around Parma and are fed on the left over whey from making parmesan cheese which ensures exceptionally sweet meat.

The hind legs of the pig have salt massaged into them for one month and are then left in cold cells for two months to lose moisture. After this time they are washed of salt, cleaned and dried and left to cure in special well-ventilated rooms for 3 - 4 months open to the air.

At this point the cut side is covered with lard to prevent excess drying and the meat is left for anything up to 18 months by which time it will have lost at least 30% of its original weight. The leg bone may then be removed using a special tool and the ham sown up and pressed into a mould to reshape it.

The best Parma hams are stamped with the famous 5 pointed crown (4 and 3 pointed crowns denote hams that are made within an increasing radius of the town).
Parma ham is eaten as a starter accompanied by bread, melon or figs. Never be tempted to remove the strip of fat when serving: the sweet, moist fat being the perfect compliment to the dry, salted meat. It is also used in cooking, to wrap around meat and fish or in pasta sauces.
