Natoora Italian Prosciutto Cotto

£3.73 per 100g, Freshly sliced every day at Natoora, in LondonMild and fragrantFrom a whole boned pork thighFrom one of the best producers in Emilia RomagnaOur cooked Italian ham is wonderfully mild and fragrant. The boned thigh of a pig is pickled with salt, saltpetre, sugar, juniper berries, pepper and other spices, and then cooked by steam and pressed into a mould. It is ready to be eaten a few days after being cooked. The line of fat in the middle of the ham is a sign of quality, meaning that the ham has come from a whole leg as opposed to lean cuts of various provenance being processed together and pressed into the shape of a ham.The Capitelli family produce everything with reverence to traditional methods whilst using modern technology. The result - proper cooked ham which tastes natural, is dry and not undesirably strong in flavour.
