Our Berkshire Ham is made in the true Italian style, cured with sea salt and then left to age for about 18-20 months, coaxing out a deep, rich meaty flavor and developing a silky, clean mouth-feel.

With its delicate, almost-sweet flavor, our Berkshire Ham is a versatile ingredient that can elevate a variety of dishes. Slice it thinly and serve as part of an antipasto or meat and cheese platter with some fruit and meaty nuts, or use it to prepare a delicious sandwich with fresh crusty bread, sweet butter or mild mustard. The possibilities are endless, and the results are always delicious.

The almost-sweet flavour of this prosciutto ham makes it a great partner to a good red or sparkling wine.
