Spicy Prosciutto - La Quercia

For those who crave heat with their charcuterie, La Quercia's Spicy Prosciutto Americano delivers a vibrant interpretation of the classic cured ham. Each rear leg of the highest quality Heritage Berkshire pork is hand-rubbed with Spanish Pimentón and ground New Mexican chilis, infusing the silky prosciutto with layers of smoky paprika and zesty heat.

The combination of Spanish and New Mexican peppers creates a sophisticated spice profile that enhances rather than overwhelms the rich, sweet character of the Heritage Berkshire pork. Raised on small Midwestern farms without antibiotics, then carefully cured using traditional methods, this prosciutto maintains its elegant texture while adding bold, spirited flavor to every slice.

This is prosciutto for the adventurous palate—one that respects tradition while embracing a distinctly American approach to spice and flavor.
