Prosciutto San Daniele Boneless D.O.P. – Aged 18 Months

Prosciutto di San Daniele is one of Italy’s most prized cured hams, produced exclusively in the town of San Daniele del Friuli, where centuries of tradition and the region’s unique microclimate create a truly exceptional product.

This D.O.P. (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) certification guarantees authenticity, ensuring that every step of production  from pig breeding to aging follows the strict standards set by the Consorzio del Prosciutto di San Daniele.

Crafted Tradition

Only select Italian pigs, raised in 11 specific regions, are used for this prosciutto. After reaching a minimum weight of 150 kg (330 lbs), the hind legs are hand-rubbed with sea salt and left to rest for several weeks. The salt is then carefully removed, and the hams are hung to age in well-ventilated rooms for at least 18 months, allowing the flavors to develop naturally.

During this time, the ham acquires its signature aroma, delicate sweetness, and tender texture  a result of the clean air from the Pre-Alps and the mild breezes of the Tagliamento River.

Flavor & Characteristics

• Color: Deep pink with a thin white fat layer

• Texture: Soft, velvety, and easy to slice

Compared to Prosciutto di Parma, San Daniele is slightly sweeter and less salty, with a more complex aroma and smooth finish.

Serving Suggestions
