Etymology

The word 'prosciutto' comes from the Italian language, derived from the Latin word 'perexsuctum,' which means 'dried.' The history of prosciutto dates back to ancient Rome, where methods of curing pork were developed to preserve meat for longer periods. Over time, these techniques evolved in different regions of Italy, leading to the unique styles of prosciutto we know today. Each type has its own rules for production, including the type of pig used, the region's climate, and specific seasoning methods. The most renowned varieties, such as Prosciutto di Parma and Prosciutto di San Daniele, have geographic legal protections that ensure their authenticity and quality. Prosciutto has become a prominent part of Italian cuisine and has gained international acclaim, influencing charcuterie boards around the world.
