This Berkshire Cross Prosciutto from La Quercia is made with a crossbreed of 50% Heritage Breed Berkshire, crossed with Duroc/Large White pigs. The genetics of the coveted Berkshire/Kurobuta pig really shine in this ham, so you’ll see a good amount of beautiful fat marbling webbing throughout the deep rosy meat. La Quercia’s Berkshire Cross Berkshire Ham is made in the true Italian style, simply cured with sea salt and then left to age for about 12 to 14 months, coaxing out a deep, rich meaty flavor and developing a silky, clean mouth-feel.
Slice thinly and serve as part of an antipasto or meat and cheese platter with some fruit and meaty nuts, or prepare a delicious sandwich with fresh crusty bread, sweet butter or mild mustard. The almost-sweet flavor of this prosciutto ham makes it a great partner to a lager beer, fruity hard cider, sparkling wine or sweet lambrusco. La Quercia uses family farm-raised pigs, reared with no subtherapeutic antibiotics and raised on vegetarian fed, so you can enjoy this knowing it's a natural, delicious charcuterie item.
