Villani Prosciutto Crudo Emiliano is a deboned, dry-cured pork leg produced in Castelnuovo Rangone, Modena, from selected pork legs seasoned with sea salt alone. What distinguishes this product is its commitment to a completely natural production method — 100% natural, without preservatives of any kind, the flavour develops entirely through the 12-month curing process rather than through additives or accelerants. The ham is chisel-deboned without cutting the leg, then carefully knife-trimmed to remove the coating, any dark lean meat, and the yellow fat — leaving a clean, well-presented piece that is ready for counter service or kitchen preparation.
A preservative-free, natural ham for operations that value clean-label provenance. The two-ingredient recipe — pork and sea salt — makes it a straightforward and credible choice for restaurants, delis, and retailers who want to be transparent about what they serve. Each leg averages approximately 5.8kg and is vacuum-packed with a 9-month shelf life from packaging. Confirmed allergen-free and non-GMO, it suits restaurants, premium delis, and wholesale accounts across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for an authentic Italian prosciutto crudo with a genuinely clean ingredient declaration.
