San Daniele Friuli is situated between the flatlands of northern Italy and the Friulian Alps, making the distinctive geographical location unique, for the manufacturing of such ham.

Thanks to the constant flow of air from the north of Friuli and the southern sea breeze from the Adriatic Sea,  which encounter at the great Tagliamento river, the ham seasoning occurs in the most traditional way.

The most characteristic ham factories still have their well ventilated north/ south facing cold rooms, to facilitate the natural airing and consequent maturation of the legendary San Daniele ham.

Alessio Prolongo regulates the natural airing at his own ham factory in San Daniele.

San Daniele’s cured ham manufacturing procedure takes at least 15 months to become a real work of art. The aging period is only the final part of this long process but it is, what characterizes this exclusive ham.

San Daniele ham is a quality product without any preservatives or additives. It contains only highly digestible essential fats, smooth to the pallet and soft to the touch, a delicate taste and recommended for low- calorie diets.

San Daniele cured ham has been recognized worldwide and protected under the tutelage of the Consortium for Prosciutto of San Daniele, for over 40 years, becoming a  PDO product in 1996.
