Prosciutto Crudo "Il Poggio" is one of Casa Citterio's sweeter treats. Citterio's master butchers, after strictly controlling the ingredients starting from the breeding farms, oversee each ham, one by one, during the different salting and seasoning stages. The result is a sweet cured ham with a unique flavour. Slice after slice, a perfect ham to eat as is or in a gourmet sandwich.
