Detailed Description

Hillbilly Prosciutto

Our Hillbilly Prosciutto has distinct characteristics influenced by the unique regional methods and environment of the area. Kuttawa is located in Western Kentucky, known for its rich agricultural history and traditional southern food practices, including the curing of meats.

  1. Curing Process: The prosciutto is air-dried in a controlled environment that mimics the traditional Southern ham-curing process, which is a unique combination of natural air, humidity, and the local microclimate. Given Kentucky’s damp, temperate climate, the prosciutto takes on a subtle earthy flavor as it ages over several months up to two years!

  2. Flavor Profile: Our prosciutto might has a slightly stronger, more robust flavor compared to Italian prosciutto. The salt and spice rubs used in the curing process gives it a savory, slightly sweet and smoky profile. The longer it is cured, the more pronounced these flavors would become, with a balance of saltiness, earthiness, and hints of the smokiness associated with the region’s cured meats.

  3. Texture: Our prosciutto is slightly firmer than traditional Italian prosciutto, due to the longer aging and curing process. The meat is thinly sliced, with a tender bite that’s not overly greasy but still retains some marbling, which contributes to its depth of flavor.

  4. Appearance: The prosciutto has a deep, reddish-brown color, accented by the white marbling of fat that adds richness.

  5. Regional Touch: Being cured in a country ham facility in Kuttawa, KY, the prosciutto is heavily influenced by local traditions. The ham is lightly smoked and cured in ways that are characteristic of Kentucky’s renowned country ham,  using wood and other natural elements from the region, giving it a unique touch that sets it apart from European versions of prosciutto.

This Kentucky-style prosciutto is a perfect balance between Southern tradition and Italian influence, making it a delicious, artisanal product with a distinctive regional flavor.
