About This Prosciutto
Produced by La Torre in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, Colori e Sapori is a whole boneless prosciutto crudo aged for a minimum of 14 months using only two ingredients: heritage pork and sea salt. No nitrates, no additives, no shortcuts — just the centuries-old Italian tradition of air-drying and slow aging that produces one of the most distinctive cured hams available outside of Italy.
At 14 months, this prosciutto hits the sweet spot between delicate and complex. The fat is creamy and buttery, the lean meat deeply rosy with a savory-sweet flavor that finishes clean. Thinner than a 24-month aged ham and more approachable in flavor, it is the style most common in Italian homes and trattorias — eaten simply, without ceremony.
How to Use a Whole Leg
A whole prosciutto leg is the centerpiece of a serious charcuterie setup — for restaurants, caterers, home entertainers, and anyone who takes Italian cured meat seriously. You will need a prosciutto stand and a long flexible slicing knife to get paper-thin slices. Serve with ripe melon, fresh figs, burrata, or simply draped over toasted bread with a drizzle of good olive oil. Pairs beautifully with Prosecco, Sangiovese, or a crisp lager.
Storage & Shipping
Ships year-round with ice packs and insulated packaging for 1-3 day delivery. After opening, wrap the cut face tightly in plastic wrap or vacuum seal and refrigerate. Properly stored, the leg will hold for 6-9 months after opening. Some surface mold on the outer casing is completely normal and does not affect the meat.
