Parma Ham

A ham from Parma, Italy that is dry-cured, aged for over a year and well known as a high quality distinctively flavored ham. The Parma ham is similar in appearance and taste to prosciutto, which has a delicately spiced and salty flavor. Parma ham is produced from a breed of pigs that are significantly larger in overall size than those raised in the U.S. and other countries for the production of hams.
