- Heralded as the King of Hams, Prosciutto di Parma dates back to ancient Rome. * The quality of the prosciutto is linked to the curing process and animal husbandry. * A traditional dry-curing process is used to create Murray’s Prosciutto di Parma. * Murray’s Prosciutto di Parma is made by Paolo Tanara. * Raw legs of pork are carefully selected, hand-trimmed, and salted before aging for at least 20 months. * For a prosciutto to be considered Prosciutto di Parma, it must be aged in the region surrounding Parma, Italy, and made from animals raised in accredited, regional farms. * The curing and aging process follows a time-honored tradition and is heavily monitored to ensure the quality of the ham. * Historically, Prosciutto di Parma was cured using a process that translated to the Italian for “open the window, close the window.” * Meats were aged in large rooms with high windows on either side. * Depending on the meat being cured, the windows were opened and closed to control the temperature and humidity of the room. * The same concept is used in today’s production methods, as air is piped in through the roof to cure the meat.
