Prosciutto

Prosciutto is an Italian dry-cured ham, thinly sliced and served uncooked in antipasti, sandwiches or wrapped around melon and grissini; varieties include Prosciutto di Parma and other regional prosciutti. It is prized for its delicate, salty-sweet flavor and silky texture that comes from long air-drying and ageing. As a food, Prosciutto is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 27.8g of protein per 100 g, with virtually no carbohydrates; it also contributes nutrients commonly found in cured pork such as vitamin B12 and selenium. Nutritionally it delivers a high-quality amino acid profile and is very satiating, but keep in mind it is a cured, processed meat often used in small amounts and can be relatively high in sodium, so many people treat it as an occasional flavorful ingredient rather than a daily staple.
