PDO Parma Ham

Iconic, timeless sweetness.

The Ingredient
With its sweet, delicate flavour and soft, velvety texture, Parma Ham PDO stands out for its aromatic balance, intense fragrance and melt-in-the-mouth quality that delights every palate.
The Origin

THE PARMA HILLS: A NATURALLY PERFECT CLIMATE.

Produced exclusively in the province of Parma, this ham is created through a natural process involving just a few ingredients: Italian pork legs, sea salt and time. The breeze from the hills and the dry air encourage a slow ageing process lasting at least 18 months. The Parma Ham Consortium also safeguards the quality and origin of pigs raised without antibiotic treatments from birth, as well as a supply chain certified according to animal-welfare standards, guaranteeing an authentic product that has become a worldwide symbol of Italian excellence.
