VILLANI Culatta 16-18 Month (Approx 5kg)
Like prosciutto, culatta is salted and air dried leg ham. Naturally formed into an oval nugget shape, it is a slightly sweeter and delicious alternative to prosciutto.
It is made from the heart of the leg muscles, yet maintains the skin and layer of creamy fat to protect the quality and flavour of the flesh during salting and air drying.
In Italy, it is considered the best salume to finely slice and serve at the table, where its smooth, luscious and fresh tasting pink hued flesh has a clean salty tang.
Because of its shape and smaller diameter compared to prosciutto, it is easier to prepare, slice, store and serve.
