Prosciutto crudo



I seriously can't get enough of this stuff. I think prosciutto crudo is like Italian sushi. Here is the Wikipedia description of Prosciutto crudo --

"Prosciutto is the Italian word for ham. In English, prosciutto almost always used for an aged, dry-cured, spiced Italian ham that is usually sliced thin and served uncooked; this is called prosciutto crudo 'raw ham' in Italian and distinguished from prosciutto cotto 'cooked ham.' The most renowned and expensive legs of "prosciutto" come from central and northern Italy (Tuscany and Emilia in particular), such as Prosciutto di Parma, and those of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, such as Prosciutto di San Daniele."

I simply must find a way to get this type if meat in the USA. I am currently looking for an online salumeria that will ship prosciutto crudo to my house in Gainesville. CRAZY.
