Flavour Analysis

Prosciutto di Parma’s first impression is commanding fermented aroma, but animal fat, oleic acid and brine soon reveal the profile beneath. A pork note adds distinct porky meatiness. A kombu dashi note contributes savoury richness, and sugar and rancio notes give the profile a finish that moves from the familiar to the unexpected.
