Prosciutto

Prosciutto is the Italian word for ham. Italians refer to raw, dry-cured ham as prosciutto crudo, and to the common, cooked ham as prosciutto cotto. When used in English, the term prosciutto stands for the raw, dry-cured version of ham. Prosciutto is salty, with a delicate flavour. It is widely used as a snak, an antipasti, or cooked, many times with meat to give an extra flavour.
