Prosciutto di Parma 20 Months is an authentic Prosciutto di Parma DOP, produced exclusively in the rolling hills surrounding Parma, Italy, where centuries of tradition, climate, and craftsmanship come together to create one of the world's finest cured hams. Made from carefully selected heritage-breed pork and seasoned with only sea salt, this celebrated delicacy is naturally aged for 20 months, allowing it to develop exceptional sweetness, complexity, and a delicate melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Protected by the Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP) designation, genuine Prosciutto di Parma must be produced within a specific region of Emilia-Romagna and follow strict regulations established by the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma. No preservatives, nitrates, artificial flavors, or smoking are permitted—only time, fresh air from the Apennine Mountains, and generations of artisanal expertise transform the ham into its unmistakable final product. Each authentic ham is branded with the iconic Ducal Crown of Parma, guaranteeing its origin and quality.
Extended aging for 20 months produces a silky texture and a deeper concentration of sweet, nutty flavors while preserving the ham's delicate balance and refined character.
