A nice plate of raw ham and parmesan.
When it comes to Italian cuisine, one of the simplest and at the same time tastiest dishes is undoubtedly raw ham accompanied by parmesan flakes. This combination, which unites the delicacy of raw ham with the flavor of parmesan cheese, is a true triumph of flavors.
Raw ham, with its soft consistency and its sweet and slightly salty flavor, is a product that represents the excellence of the Italian gastronomic tradition. Among the most renowned are Parma ham and San Daniele ham, both characterized by a maturation that can last up to 24 months. This long maturation gives the ham a unique and unmistakable flavor.
Grana, on the other hand, is a hard cheese, known for its intense flavor and crumbly consistency. Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano are the two most famous cheeses in this category. Both are produced with cow's milk and subjected to a long maturation process, which can vary from 12 to 36 months. The parmesan flakes, with their strong and slightly spicy flavour, pair perfectly with the sweetness of the raw ham.
Preparing a plate of raw ham and parmesan is quick and easy, but requires attention in choosing the ingredients. It is important to opt for high-quality products, preferably DOP (Protected Designation of Origin), to guarantee an authentic and satisfying taste experience.
To serve this dish, simply arrange the slices of raw ham on a serving plate, then add the parmesan flakes. You can complete the whole thing with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a few leaves of fresh rocket, to add a touch of colour and freshness. Accompany the dish with some homemade bread or crispy breadsticks, and you will have a perfect appetizer for any occasion.
A nice plate of raw ham and parmesan is ideal for an aperitif with friends, a light lunch or an informal dinner. The simplicity of the ingredients and their quality make this dish a true symbol of Italian cuisine, capable of conquering palates all over the world.
And in the background another dish with another Italian excellence: mozzarella!
