Prosciutto San Daniele

The production of PROSCIUTTO DI SAN DANIELE takes place in the hilly territory of the municipality of the same name in the province of Udine, in the far northeast of Italy, where the best fresh legs are selected that come exclusively from pigs born and raised in ten regions of central and northern Italy (Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Lombardy, Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, Lazio, Abruzzo, Marche, and Umbria). This unique cured meat is born from the experience of Friuli’s pork butchers and the microclimate of San Daniele del Friuli, where winds descending from the Carnic Alps meet with breezes from the Adriatic, bringing resinous scents that mingle with brackish ones, in an environment where humidity and temperature are regulated by the moraine lands and the waters of the Tagliamento River.
