  Experience the same exquisite old world flavor that generations of ham connoisseurs have savored through ancient preparation methods. Newsom's unique prosciutto stands out as one of a kind — more than a step above the others. Let Newsom's satisfy your "foodie" cravings. Newsom's Aged Ham was added to the display at the Jason Museum in Aracena, Spain, following the 5th World Congress of Dry Cured Hams held there in 2009. A Newsom's ham hangs there amid the good company of its Spanish, Italian and other worldly counterparts. Old World? — Yes! Most prosciutto methods of old involved a dry cure in which the natural temperatures, coupled with time, created a flavor seldom experienced today. Having been cured only in limited number, the natural processing of Newsom's prosciutto involves salt, a small amount of brown sugar and a slight hint of hickory smoke. There are no chemical additives — no sodium nitrate or nitrite. Natural weather temperatures add to the beautiful rosy red color of Newsom's prosciutto type ham. Our Gourmet Aged Prosciutto Hams are handcrafted one at a time to provide the most original and unique flavor. It has been said that our aged ham has properties reminiscent of the Speck ham of northern Italy and prosciutto from the Italian provinces, and it has been compared with ham still produced by ancient methods from acorn-fed black foot hogs. Yet, Newsom's prosciutto has a character all its own and a flavor comparing favorably with any natural air-cured ham the world over. After hams go to the hanging house, they are bathed in the cool smoke from an 1800s era iron kettle, smoked as are the speck hams. As the prosciuttos hang in the smokehouse, air passes over them, again and again, from the outdoor weather. Hung in the attic, these prosciutto's are moved around like aging whiskey. Newsom's Prosciutto features the complexity of flavors derived from a natural, ambient cure, Kentucky summers and a tradition of centuries. Our prosciutto is best sliced or shaved against grain, which creates a melt-in-the-mouth delight of complex aged flavors, even at a young age. Newsom's prosciutto is offered whole, in boneless portions and sliced by the pound. The Boneless Portion, a prime cut, provides a product that is ready for carving or for your home meat slicer.
