Academia Barilla personally selects only the largest and best-quality legs of ham from the small hill town of Langhirano, the area that specializes in Parma ham. Attentive care of livestock, unique composition of feed, time-honored production techniques and strict control of the entire process result in a product of unsurpassed quality. Prosciutto Crudo Di Parma is aged for a minimum of 18 months, and offers a lean, tender and evenly marbled meat that’s never too fibrous or fatty. Legs average 17¼ lbs.
