San José Prosciutto is a true artisanal product, produced by hand and made using traditional techniques.
Legs of Australian, female pork are hand salted for a lengthy period, allowing the flavour to fully develop. It is then matured on the bone for a period of around 18 months in the custom built maturation rooms of San José, where the perfect balance of humidity and temperature are perfect for curing the legs of Prosciutto.
Each prosciutto is hand selected before being released for sale; the prosciutto is tested by inserting a fine bone into the meat to test ripeness. Only an artisan prosciutto maker will understand the aromatic differences that signal a perfectly mature product. Hand de-boning requires years of experience & skill to carefully remove the bone from the meat. Hand pressing follows, enabling the retention of the natural oils for full flavour.
