Domenico's Culatta Emilia - 12 months

Culatta is a rare, artisanal Italian cured ham from the Parma region, similar to Culatello but distinguished by keeping the rind on the meat, which is then covered with a protective mix of lard, salt, and spices (sugna) during its long aging process. This results in a tender, silky, buttery ham with a delicate sweetness, floral notes, and a distinct aroma, made from the finest part of the pork thigh without the bone or knuckle.
