Prosciutto di Parma DOP Simonini
A cured ham aged according to the tradition of Castrignano, in the heart of the Valparma valley.
Prosciutto di Parma DOP is born from an ancient recipe and precise rules: only legs from Italian pigs, only salt, only the time of natural aging. No preservatives, no shortcuts.
In Castrignano, the Simonini family has carried on this tradition for three generations: rigorous selection of the raw material, slow aging in stone cellars, three distinct profiles, 20, 24 and 30 months, for those who look for a precise taste, not a generic one.
The 24-month ham stands out to the eye too: a red-pink lean part, well marbled, with clean fat. Soft on the nose, delicate and well balanced between sapidity and sweetness on the palate, with notes of dried fruit and undergrowth and a pleasant chewiness.
In the 30-month ham these sensations become more pronounced: the raw material and Vittorio Simonini's own aging process give a uniform colour, a compact texture and a more intense aroma, with a clean finish that invites another slice.
«The wait rewards the moment of tasting.»
