The excellence of Villani's "I CRU" cured meats represents the pursuit of perfection, the love of good food and the tradition of the Italian art of charcuterie. This passion is represented by the precious wooden packaging and the glossy lacquer seals. This Parma ham is made from select heavy Italian pigs and is incomparable for its sweetness and tenderness. Salted by master craftsmen and cured for around 24 months in the air of the hills of Parma, this ham is of exquisite quality worthy to satisfy palates of any connoisseur. Prosciutto Crudo is one of the most delicious, lean, and healthy varieties of typical Italian air-cured meats there is. It is often eaten as is, or possibly wrapped around a grissino (breadstick) or just a slice or two placed on a piece of fresh white bread. It is delicious with melon or figs, and is commonly seen in the typical antipasto misto.
