Today a famtastic sourdough bread course at our cooking school! . Our guests tasted PDO Prosciutto Veneto (Protected Designation of Origin) @prosciuttificiocrosare The joints are salted, rubbed and left to stand for at least three months, are then washed, dried and covered with a mixture of lard and cereal flour; the next stage of maturing lasts no less then 10 months. The weight, at the end of curing, is between approximately 8 and 11 kg. Slow, natural aging is partly responsible for the sweet taste. . Since Roman times Italians have been famous for their high quality hams, and in fact the very word "Prosciutto" comes from the Latin term "perexsuctum" which means "dried." . It's only after a year at minimum that the Prosciutto Veneto PDO receives the official stamp of certification: the Lion of Saint Mark (the symbol of Venice), which is fire-branded onto the ham itself as a testament to the quality that results after all the processing stages have been done correctly. . #sourdoughbread #mamaisacookingschool #prosciuttificiocrosare #prosciuttocrudo #prosciuttovenetodop #Ham #PDOProsciuttoVeneto #charcuterie (presso Mama Isa's Cooking School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDv0o1MXtF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
