prosciuttos

Dry-cured Italian hams

Prosciuttos is the plural of prosciutto, an Italian dry-cured ham typically served in paper-thin slices.

The meat is salted and aged for months, producing a delicate, slightly sweet flavor.

It appears on charcuterie boards, wrapped around melon, or draped over pizza: We ordered two different prosciuttos to compare.
