Prosciutto Crudo (Ham) 'Il Console'

*The indicated price is per kilo

The Console is a special anatomical cut of the pig's leg from Umbria created by master pork butchers. Its name derives from a Roman legend, in which it is said that the ancient pork artisans, after processing the leg, instead of offering the ham on the bone, created this particular anatomical cut (without the bone) for the curious requests of the royal nobility. 

At Umbrieria we offer this ham from Umbria which is made unique by refining it in the cellar, with the typical jute string to the bamboo cane stick. The balanced salting, and the right maturation, give it a delicate non-aggressive flavour, excellent balance between the ingredients.

Usually lean ham thanks to the careful selection of meat for this type of product. Excellent as an aperitif with bubbles and bubbly rosé, although it remains a 'ductile' ham that lends itself well to many uses and in many courses.
