PROSCIUTTO SLICED 500GM (LINEACHEF LCCS4400)

Product Description

The Lineachef Prosciutto Sliced 500 g (LCCS4400) is a premium-quality, air-dried, salt-cured ham crafted to deliver the authentic taste of Italian prosciutto. Designed for foodservice professionals, delis, caterers, and discerning home cooks in New Zealand, this product offers the rich, slightly sweet, nutty flavour expected of a traditional cured meat—without the hassle of manual slicing.

Made in accordance with the traditional dry-curing method, the prosciutto undergoes a lengthy maturing process, where whole pork legs are carefully seasoned with sea salt and air-dried to perfection. The result is a paper-thin, melt-in-your-mouth slice that showcases both tenderness and a complex depth of flavour. It’s ideally suited for antipasti platters, gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, pizzas, pastas, or even wrapped around fruits and cheeses.

The 500 g pack offers consistent thin slices in a modified-atmosphere, sealed tray—ensuring extended shelf life, easy storage, and safe presentation for retail or foodservice environments. Sourced under the trusted Lineachef Countrystyle collection, this product is manufactured with attention to quality and hygiene, aligning with the food safety expectations of New Zealand customers.

Perfect for both cold and warm applications, this prosciutto complements a wide variety of cuisine types and can be served straight from the pack. Each slice separates easily and retains its texture, colour, and flavour, making it a chef’s ally in maintaining presentation standards.

Benefits

Culinary versatility is a major benefit of this product. It works beautifully as part of a traditional antipasto board, paired with cheeses like brie, manchego or parmesan, and fruits like melon or figs. In hot dishes, it crisps up perfectly in the oven and can be used as a topping for gourmet pizzas or to wrap asparagus or chicken breast. The thin slices are ideal for delicate plating, enabling elegant presentation in fine dining and catering settings.

From a preparation standpoint, the time-saving factor is significant. With the prosciutto already pre-sliced, chefs can eliminate slicing labour and waste, while home cooks can enjoy professional results with minimal effort.

For health-conscious consumers, this prosciutto delivers a satisfying dose of protein while being low in sugars and carbs. It is also naturally gluten-free, which is a major plus for allergy-sensitive consumers in New Zealand. The clean ingredient profile, typically free of MSG or artificial preservatives, supports mindful eating habits.

The packaging format is another benefit—it keeps the prosciutto protected, visually appealing, and ready for immediate use. The slices don’t clump or stick together, making portioning and plating faster and more efficient in a busy kitchen.
