Prosciutto and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Prosciutto is a type of Italian dry-cured ham that is usually thinly sliced and served uncooked. Its name comes from the Italian word that means 'to dry thoroughly.' Prosciutto is typically made from the hind leg of a pig, which undergoes a curing process that can last from several months to a few years, resulting in a product with a deep, savory flavor and a tender texture.
