"Excalibur" Selection

Parmashop has chosen for you a symbol of quality, tradition, and Emilian gastronomic culture: the 18-month aged prosciutto with bone from the Etichetta Nera line of Cavalier Umberto Boschi.

What makes the Prosciutto di Parma? The uniqueness of the territory where it is produced and aged. Only the climatic conditions found in the hills of Parma allow this excellence to reach your table. The dry wind that blows from the Tyrrhenian Sea and the "Riviera Ligure" crosses the woods and, slowly descending from the hills, caresses the hams during the curing process. The right amount of humidity in winter and the heat of sunny summer days are the perfect mix of ingredients for this excellence, in addition to selected pork legs and sea salt, of course.
Its color, ranging from pink to ruby red, its sweet taste, and its delicate aroma make every bite an unparalleled experience.
Not everyone knows, however, that prosciutto with bone is an even more refined delicacy: the meat that remains closest to the bone acquires an even sweeter and more delicious taste. The Cavalier Boschi family knows the ancient art of pork butchery perfectly, which has been handed down for generations to give us only products made with passion and love, just like in the old days.

Did you know that there is such a thing as a ham sommelier? Also known as a spillatore or puntatore, this is a key figure in the evaluation of cured meats. They are responsible for capturing the aromas and deciding whether the ham can become a true PDO the spitter uses an ancient tool called a fibula, which is made from the tibia bone of a horse. This small bone is used to pierce the ham at specific points and, thanks to its porosity, is able to transfer the aromas to the taster's nose.
To complete your purchase, or for an even more precious and original gift idea, the elegant iron vice with wooden base and handles is just what you need. The vice is necessary to hold the ham in place so that it can be cut with the functional professional knife, which features a handle that, thanks to innovative texturizing technology, guarantees a secure and comfortable grip.
