Buying a 4lb portion of our Frank and Sal brand prosciutto ensures you have enough for a large gathering or a month of gourmet meals without the commitment of a whole leg. We offer this in two distinct formats: paper-thin slices interleaved for easy removal, or a solid center-cut chunk for those who prefer to carve by hand at home. Each piece represents an 18-month investment in salt, air, and patience.
| Format | Texture Profile | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 4lb Sliced Pack | Translucent, buttery | Immediate serving, catering |
| 4lb Aged Chunk | Dense, ruby-red, firm | Home slicing, dicing for sauces |
We do not rush our cure. Our brand of prosciutto undergoes a slow, natural dehydration process that lasts at least 18 months. During this time, the meat loses nearly a third of its weight, which concentrates the flavor into that signature savory-sweet balance. When we portion these 4lb cuts, we select from the heart of the leg to ensure a consistent lean-to-fat ratio. We keep the fat cap thick because that is where the nutty flavor resides, if you find prosciutto with no fat, you are missing the best part of the experience.
The best way to protect the meat is to mimic the curing environment. Wrap the cut end in parchment paper, then wrap the entire piece tightly in plastic wrap to keep oxygen out. Store it in the coolest part of your refrigerator. For the best flavor, slice it while cold but let the slices sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating.
High-quality prosciutto is naturally delicate. Without thin layers of parchment between the slices, the 18-month aged fat would cause the slices to fuse together. Our interleafing ensures you can pull a single, perfect slice without tearing it, maintaining the presentation your guests expect.
Every order is hand-inspected for rind quality and color before it leaves our market. We ship using expedited methods to maintain the integrity of the cure from our door to yours.
