Prosciutto adds a taste of northern Italy to menus. Parma, a northern city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, is famous for its Prosciutto di Parma. Prosciutto di Parma, along with other varieties of prosciutto, including duck and lamb prosciutto, has made a strong impression on U.S. Italian dining. Prosciutto provides an additional saltiness to pizzas, ravioli filling or it can be wrapped around a sweet slice of cantaloupe.
