Product Description
Processed and matured at the Villani factory in San Daniele del Friuli, this prosciutto is made exclusively from heavy pork legs that meet strict PDO specifications. Each ham is carefully cured for a minimum of 16 months, allowing it to develop its ultimate flavour profile.

Our Villani Selection

Culatta (Emilia-Romagna) – A regional speciality made from the heart of the leg, protected by skin and a fine layer of fat during curing. Naturally oval in shape, culatta is prized for its sweetness and delicate flavour, and its smaller diameter makes it easy to slice on most machines.

Prosciutto di San Daniele PDO (Friuli Venezia Giulia) – Produced in San Daniele del Friuli and aged for a minimum of 16 months. Renowned for its distinctive sweetness, silky mouthfeel, and refined balance.

Prosciutto di Parma PDO (Emilia-Romagna) – Crafted in Langhirano and aged for 16–24 months. This world-famous ham is delicate yet complex, with a nutty, buttery flavour and exceptional depth that epitomises Italian prosciutto.

Tartufo Prosciutto (Emilia-Romagna) – A unique and refined speciality, generously filled with summer truffle. The truffle infuses the sweetness of cured ham with a heady, aromatic scent, while its compact texture slices beautifully to reveal whole pieces of truffle. Serve with focaccia, grilled peaches and goat’s curd, or simply sliced on top of pizza.
