Prosciutto Cotto is food with ancient origins, dating back even to ancient Rome, where there are traces of the recipes for processing pork. Prosciutto Cotto means the whole pork leg is cured and then cooked by slowly steaming it. This type of prosciutto will be bright pink in colors, fragrant and have a delicate, mouth-watering flavor. Because of its lighter flavor, this is the perfect prosciutto to use in a simple sandwich, or sliced on a single piece of great bread or served beside fresh pineapple and Gorgonzola cheese to let it shine.
