Product Description

Prosciutto Dolcecuore Mattonella Skin Off (Vitali) is a premium dry-cured ham, made from the hind leg of pork, salt-cured and naturally aged for several months in the traditional Italian style. The “Dolcecuore” name refers to its sweet, mild flavour profile, developed through careful selection of raw meat and long, controlled maturation.

What sets this product apart is its mattonella (brick-style) shape, which is compact, uniform, and ideal for commercial slicing. With the skin removed and bones extracted, it allows for 100% usable yield—zero waste and maximum efficiency.

This prosciutto is aged slowly to create a buttery texture, delicate fat marbling, and a soft, melt-in-the-mouth finish. It contains no artificial preservatives, maintaining authenticity and taste integrity.

Ideal for both traditional Italian preparations and modern culinary applications.
