Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1500392448736{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]\nOlder, heavier animals are selected, giving the ham its unmistakable pear shape and guaranteeing the perfect amount of fat and a weight of at least 8.5 kg.

Salting<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1490860805600{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The ham is salted twice over using sea salt.
\nFirst it is covered completely with salt and left to rest for a week at temperatures of between +1 \u00b0C and +4 \u00b0C and humidity levels of between 70 and 90%.
\nThe salt is then removed and the ham is \u2018massaged\u2019.
\nIt is then covered in salt for a second time and left to rest for longer (between 14 and 18 days). Once the second salt coating has been removed, the ham is brushed and massaged once again.
\nThe legs, which have been laid flat until this stage, are now hung and left for between 2-5 months.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” bg_image=”486″ bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_color=”#230312″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” id=”coating” row_name=”Coating” overlay_strength=”0.5″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h6″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”PRODUCTION”][vc_column_text]\n

Washing, Drying and Coating<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1490861256678{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]\nThe legs are washed and dried again. Next, the exposed part of the muscle is coated with sugna<\/em>, finely minced, seasoned pig fat. The process is extremely important as it protects the ham from external agents, keeps the inside soft, guarantees even seasoning and prevents it from drying out too much.

During the seasoning process, ventilation and exposure to light and natural humidity are permitted, taking into account the local climate.

It remains a mystery as to why people first began curing pork in the villages around Norcia in the upper Valnerina valley.<\/p>\n

Non-intensive pig farming had been widespread in the mountains and hills of Umbria since Roman times, the area\u2019s forests and oak woods providing the animals with a natural food source.<\/p>\n

The practice of processing pork and curing meats first sprang up in the area in the 13th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#faf7ee” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1490800789061{margin-top: 15px !important;}”]It appears to be linked to the school of surgery founded during the 1200s in the village of Preci, in the upper Valnerina valley.<\/p>\n

The art of processing meat, handed down originally from father to son, became widely appreciated, and the first pork butchers or norcini<\/em> began to emerge.<\/p>\n

Moving from the mountains to the towns to seek seasonal or permanent employment, the butchers opened the first norcinerie<\/em> (pork butcheries).<\/p>\n

Today, these ancient artisan techniques still lie at the heart of Prosciutto di Norcia PGI, the fruit of Umbria\u2019s centuries-old pork butchery traditions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#192e1b” scene_position=”center” text_color=”custom” custom_text_color=”#faf7ee” text_align=”left” id=”nutritional-values” row_name=”Nutritional Values” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#faf7ee” column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h6″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Extra-Color-2″ text=”NUTRITIONAL VALUES”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”bottom” background_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading]\n

Prosciutto di Norcia PGI contains good quality fats with a high nutritional value: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.<\/p>\n

Fatty acids are vital for good health.
