Prosciutto Crudo Tuscia

Prosciutto Tuscia is produced in the Tuscia Viterbese area, with particular reference to the Cimini Mountains. Characteristic of the Tuscia mountain ham is the presence of two types with bone and boned with rump, which are aged for periods of different lengths. Prosciutto Tuscia , of ancient artisanal tradition, is obtained from the fresh meat of the thigh and shin of pigs reared in the wild in the woods of the Cimini Mountains and the Maremma hinterland. The preparation is linked to a medieval tradition, when the best parts of the pig (ham, leg and shoulder) were preserved, after salting, as a meat supply throughout the year.
