The history of raw ham
THE TRADITION The processing of Tuscan Raw Ham dates back to the Middle Ages. Already in the 9th century on winter days, on the hills surrounding Arezzo, Siena and Grosseto, peasant families used to participate in a ceremony, almost a sacred rite: the killing of the pig. It was a day of celebration, which was celebrated with great binges, songs and dances and which provided meat to be preserved, in the form of meats, for a whole year, allowing families to overcome the harsh winters. However, it was around the fifteenth century, under the Medici, that the production of ham was regulated in all its phases, with rules still applied today which may well be called a sort of disciplinary ante litteram. Also in the 15th century, the Officers of Grascia, a Florentine magisterium in charge of supervising the application of the "right price", were instructed to monitor compliance with the production standards.

Why is it special?
Our selection of boneless raw ham is certainly one of the key raw hams in the world of charcuterie. Its flavor is unique also thanks to the type of aging and processing.
For this reason, however, the term ham is improper, because even if the anatomical cut is the same, the bone is removed when fresh and cured without the bone, for which it takes the name of "sgambato".
The boneless raew ham is undoubtedly one of the most famous in Tuscan cured meats. It is produced with pork legs, subjected to salting and long aging.
After a short maturation the legs are washed, trimmed with the removal of part of the rind and subcutaneous fat, and subjected to salting by manual massaging. The operation is repeated every 4-5 days for 20-25 days, in the meantime the thighs are kept in cold storage.
Thereafter, the boneless raw ham remains at 1-4 degrees for a month. During this time they lose most of their liquids.
They are then washed, left to dry for a few days, and finally placed in well-ventilated rooms where they are cured for 10-14 months.
In a first phase the humidity is low, to complete the drying of the product, in a second phase it is increased to complete the aging. In this last phase, white molds develop, necessary for the development of the typical aroma.
The boneless raw ham contains a lot of proteins (up to 28%) and the fat is localized on the outside and can be removed. Lean raw ham contains only 3-4% fat, it is digestible and satiating. The only contraindication is given by the high sodium content: 100 g of ham contain 70% of the maximum recommended daily quantity.
HISTORY
At one time all the various production phases were artisanal, marked by the seasons: the pig was slaughtered between November and December, for a month the temperature in the cellar was equivalent to that of a cold room, then they were placed in more sheltered environments, at higher temperatures but well ventilated, finally, in the summer, in cool and closed environments, with higher humidity. It is natural that considerable experience was needed to produce ham in this way. Sometimes, in fact, it happened to find faulty hams or with odors not proper and characteristic of the seasoned product that frustrated the work of a year ... and above all forced to throw away all that goodness.
In the fifteenth century, at the time of Doctors, the production of the Tuscan ham is definitively regulated through provisions that concerned the entire production process which were then transferred to the current one production specification, almost unchanged from the past.
A matter of climate
What has always made i Tuscan cold cuts it is mainly the climate of the area. The harsh winters they help slow down the deterioration of cured products without having to use excessive quantities of salt: Tuscan ham thus acquires a well-defined flavor, never being overly salty. It therefore follows a delicate taste, but wisely enriched by those unmistakable aromas of Tuscany, typical of its vegetation, rich in mastic, myrtle, juniper, secret ingredients of the producers' recipes.
The shipment of your boned raw ham takes place in 24/48 from the moment of approval. In the payment methods there is also the possibility of cash on delivery. Salumeria Toscana specializes in the online sale of typical Tuscan cold cuts.

Description
More flavorful than Prosciutto, the cured pork shoulder is characterized by an intense flavor, not too savory, red in color and dry meat.
Processing: Chosen from the best pork shoulders, it is trimmed and processed with coarse sea salt which is removed with warm water after about twenty days during which it is massaged on a weekly basis. The seasoned shoulder is hung in a cool place and left to mature for a period of about 3 months for the boneless and about 4 months for the bone-in, until it reaches full maturity. Finally, it is filled with a mixture of lard and flour in those points where it has hollows or small cracks and peppered in the parts not covered by rind.
The seasoned pork shoulder has an ancient taste fragrance that makes it persistent and light on the palate, it is served mainly sliced accompanied with very sweet seasonal figs or broad beans.

When buying a cured pork shoulder, we always ask ourselves the same question, which is better Tuscan ham or aged shoulder? None can be considered as better, as these two products are different. We are all aware that the main difference between ham and shoulder is the price, but it is not the only factor that distinguishes them, but the taste and the part of the pig from which they come, all these aspects should be taken into consideration.
Raw ham or aged pork shoulder?
Firstly you need to understand from where you get both products. The pig has two front and two hind legs; paletilla (shoulder) is the way the two front legs are known, while jamón (raw ham or prosciutto crudo) is the name given to the two hind legs. By their constitution, the hind legs are larger and fleshy than the front legs, which are thinner. Consequently, there is more meat in the ham than in the shoulder.
When we talk about the characteristics of Tuscan ham and cured shoulder we are referring to the amount of meat in both products. Pork shoulder has less meat and bone while in ham there is much more percentage of meat available for consumption.
Another difference between raw ham and cured shoulder is the time of curing. The proximity to the bone accelerates the curing process and, since the shoulder has less meat and is closer to the bone, it is cured much quicker. Tuscan ham needs 15 months to be ready while pork shoulder matures already in 6 months. This maturation time influences the final price of the product. Since the aged shoulder takes less time in the cellar, their cost will be lower than that of the ham, which requires more time for curing.
As for the flavor, since the pork shoulder meat is closer to the bone, its flavor is more intense, which will make it more suitable for palates accustomed to stronger flavors. However, if you are among those who prefer seasoning with a soft touch, it is advisable to buy the ham, whole or sliced.
When we talk about the difference between Tuscan ham and cured pork shoulder, of course, we cannot ignore something that is obvious: the different sizes of the two pieces. The shoulder is smaller than the ham and can reach a maximum of 70 centimeters in length, while the ham usually measures between 70 and 90 centimeters. The weight is also different, and although it depends a lot on the piece, the front legs usually weigh around five pounds while the hind legs average seven.
Now that we know the fundamental aspects that distinguish them both, let's see why the price of these products is so different.
Cured shoulder vs Tuscan hams
Generally speaking, if you ask someone what is better ham or cured pork shoulder, many might say that the Tuscan ham is the best, because it is often concieved that because it is more expensive, its quality is better, while it is not the reality.
The cost of selling to the public is not determined by the delicacy of the products, but by the time needed to produce them. The shoulder preparation & curing process is almost twice sorter which is the major reason for difference in price, but not the taste or quality of the product.
As for the flavor, the flavor of the ham is no better than that of the shoulder, but they are totally different. If you try a slice of cured shoulder and then try a slice of ham, you will soon be able to differentiate them because the taste of the first is more intense and powerful than that of the second, which is softer.
Hence, neither the Ham no cured shoulder can be considered as better or worse, they are different products that are produced in the same way. If you choose to buy ham, or if you decide to buy a pork shoulder from Salumeria Toscana we can assure you one thing, you will love both products!

Cinta Senese
The Cinta Senese is an ancient rustic breed of fine pigs, which derives the name of the area of origin, the hills of the Sienese territory, and was probably already bred in Roman times.
This breed with a dark coat is distinguished from other pigs by a characteristic white band that fastens the withers, the thorax, the shoulders and the front legs.
The first certain evidence of its presence dates back to the late Middle Ages when the painter Ambrogio Lorenzetti portrayed it in his own fresco of 1338. The Cinta has also been represented in paintings and frescoes from earlier periods from the 12th century.
The Cinta Senese was originally born in the wooded lands north of Siena, later the breed spread towards the Mugello and the Valdarno countryside and south towards the Maremma.
Currently these pigs are bred in almost all of Tuscany, in our case the pigs are raised in the wild, feeding on cereals produced in our company.
The breed has undergone greater knowledge and dissemination of its renowned meats, it is considered a valuable and unique breed, representing a further gastronomic excellence for Tuscany.
Cinta meats have excellent organoleptic qualities:
Meat succulence: it is redder and tastier than other pork.

Cinta Senese Ham is the hind limb consisting of the thigh and buttock of the pig including the leg. The thigh is initially massaged with a mixture of salt, pepper and crushed garlic and left covered for about twenty days at the end of which it is cleaned and prepared for aging which lasts for at least 14 months. Cinta Senese PDO cured ham is recognized for its elongated shape, for the non-convex aspect of the thigh and for the paw with evident black claws characteristic of the breed. The company brand is branded on the back.
The slice of Cinta Senese ham is distinguished by the right balance between the fat and lean part, which is linked more to the type of farming than to the breed. Animals living free in the woods do not deposit large fat masses.
The natural red color is intense and the characteristic marbling is evident which gives the product sapidity and taste.
The fat part has a white-pink color that after a few seconds from the cut turns to a diffuse and evident pink with a brightness deriving from the melting process of the polyinsauri fats present.
The scent of Cinta Senese PDO ham is intense and more pronounced in very seasoned hams. The best way to appreciate this product is to consume it as it is, having the foresight to slice it with a knife and to wait a few minutes to give the slice time to oxygenate and to unfold its full potential that manifests itself with an enveloping sensation of softness. immediate on the palate.

Raw Ham production method
The pork legs are refrigerated and subsequently trimmed with an arched cut that leaves a fleshy frame such that, once matured, it does not protrude more than 8 cm from the head of the femur. It continues with the removal of the foot, the rind and the fat inside the thigh with a V-cut to facilitate the penetration of the salt. Salting is carried out using the dry method, with the use of salt, pepper and natural flavorings; it must last long enough to ensure good dehydration. Then we proceed with the grinding which consists in coating the uncovered part of the pulp with a mixture consisting of lard, wheat or rice flour, salt, pepper and natural flavors. The curing period, from salting to marketing, of Tuscan raw ham must not be less than 10 months for hams with a final weight between 7.5 and 8.5 kg and 12 months for hams weighing more than 8, 5 kg. Prosciutto Toscano PDO to be used for slicing and packaging must have matured a further two months of seasoning, i.e. at least 12 months if weighing between 7.5 and 8.5 kg, and at least 14 months if weighing more. Hams are considered to conform to the characteristics prescribed for the PDO have a fire marking placed on it.
Appearance and flavor of Tuscan Ham
Our Prosciutto Toscano DOP is characterized by a rounded shape, arched at the top, with a weight that varies between 9 and 11 kg. The color of the slice varies from bright red to light red, with little presence of inframuscular fat. The flavor is delicate, with the right sapidity and the aroma is characteristic, deriving from aging.
Buying our Tuscan ham online is simple, just click on Add to Cart, and complete the form with the shipping details, so your product will be sent to the specified address.
The shipment of raw ham takes place in 24/48 from the time of order approval.
Production area of Tuscan Ham
The production area of Prosciutto Crudo Toscano DOP falls within the entire territory of the Tuscany region. The pigs used for the production must have been born, raised and slaughtered in the territories of the Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, Marche, Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany regions.
Gastronomy Tuscan Raw Ham
Whole Prosciutto Toscano PDO can be kept in a cool place, taking care to cover the part started with aluminum foil or transparent film. It can be eaten alone, but it also goes well with Tuscan bread, without salt; it can also become an ingredient for the preparation of delicious dishes, such as "Tuscan rose salad", with a mixture of radicchio and ricotta cheese whipped with aromatic herbs.
Distinctive note
The climate of the region has influenced the trimming technique of this ham which is wider, in the shape of a "V", to facilitate the penetration of the salt.

The family bond
For Tuscan families, the bond with the pig is visceral. For years they have been fed thanks to its meats, which have become an integral part of the local culture and diet. Tuscan peasants raised it and fattened it all year round, and then slaughtered it during a feast day, in the winter. In addition to individual families, over time it has also become important for the economy of the entire region: around the fifteenth century, in fact, during the Medici years, production began to be regulated with specific provisions on the entire production process. From a strictly family production, which used the wild or semi-wild system, we moved on to consistent farms and small-industrial artisan processing centers which, respecting the ancient processing techniques, have maintained the original characteristics of Tuscan Ham.
A unique flavor
The result could only be an exquisite raw ham, with an intense, persistent, unforgettable taste. But we don't have to convince you: just taste it at least once and you will be delighted by its flavor that is both delicate and tasty to the right point, which makes it simply perfect.
Little fat
Another of the uniqueness of Prosciutto Toscano PDO is the very low amount of inframuscular fat, clearly evident from the dry and lean crimson red slices. In addition, its flavor makes it excellent to be paired with sweet and juicy fruits such as melon, pineapple, kiwi and figs, for a truly healthier diet than ever.
Prosciutto Toscano PDO has the following physical, organoleptic, chemical and chemical-physical characteristics:
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Tuscan Ham has a rounded arched shape on the top due to the presence of a fleshy frame that protrudes about 5 cm beyond the head of the femur.
Another characteristic of this ham is its weight, normally around 8 - 10 kg and in any case never less than 7.5 kg.
This Product is distinguished by the color of the pulp from bright red to light red with little presence of infra and ultramuscular fat - pure white subcutaneous fat with light pink veins, compact, without lines of detachment between the layers and well adherent to the underlying muscle surface.

Tuscan Tradition
When it comes to charcuterie products, the undisputed king is certainly Tusan Raw Ham. The following part of this presentation is extracted from the documentation available at the Consorzio del Prosciutto Toscano DOP, of which our company has been a member since the beginning of its foundation.
“In Tuscany, men, animals, plants have a shape, a language, a feeling, they have colors, joys to express. It is the passion for history and tradition that guides every action, in small and large things, and the process of creation in Tuscany always assumes the value of a "ceremony".
Even in breeding, a characteristic activity of this land, we find this passion for rituals, a demonstration of progress and technology that have not influenced the original historical value of what is produced.
The Tuscan pig breeding has distant origins, both peasant and agricultural, and the resulting product has currently maintained the characteristics of authenticity, taste and flavor that raise it to excellent results. The genuine simplicity that is required all over the world for Tuscan food production is also alive in its hams, which combine the strong flavors of the sun and winds in the maturation of the meat, the typical aromas of its protection, rich in mastic, myrtle, junipers, secret ingredients of the producers' recipes. The nature, the climate and the passion of the producers have been able to create and maintain the originally different flavor of the Tuscan ham. "
Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)
The nature, the climate and the passion of the producers have been able to create and maintain the originally different flavor of the Tuscan ham. In order to protect the characteristic and unique identity of the Tuscan pig breeding and processing techniques, in 1990 the Consorzio del Prnown Toscano was included, which in 1996 obtained the right credit for the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and the members of the consortium have already received protected production since September 1997.
The importance of being a PDO
The production of Prosciutto Toscano with Protected Designation of Origin is made possible by the commitment and respect for the Tuscan food tradition of all the members of the Consortium, who have decided to proudly adhere to the precise rules established by the Production Regulations.
Pigs are chosen only if born, reared, fattened and slaughtered in Tuscany and in the regions defined in the specifications, which are part of the D.O.P. Parma and San Daniele.
Animals must be at least 9 months old and have a live weight between 144 and 176 kg. To guarantee consumers the certainty of a product of superior quality and guaranteed, animals must have the indelible sign approved by the farmers and the slaughterers' mark.
The treatment, separated from fresh legs (frozen legs are not allowed), can only be carried out in the Tuscany Region. Salting is done dry with the empire of marine sales, pepper and natural aromas typical of the region. The resulting flavor is that characteristic of the already famous Tuscan ham, a delicate taste but wisely enriched by those remarkable aromas of Tuscany.
Controls on all production are managed by a control body authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
Only by following this precise procedure, the hams are available after at least one year of aging, the final mark of the Consortium in flames, representing the Tuscany Region.
Our Boneless Tuscan Ham PDO is available for sale online.

Here are some more interesting details about this precious type of meat.
The Cinta Senese is a native pig breed; has been bred in Italy since ancient times. In the past in the Tuscan territories it was a particularly precious animal, so much so that it is depicted in numerous works of art of the past, the most famous of which is the fresco by Ambrogio Lorenzetti in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena. The painting dates back to the thirteenth century, and already at that time the artist testifies to the consideration that was attributed to this breed. Also used in the search for truffles for its exceptional flair. The meat is tasty and firm, as these pigs are raised exclusively in the wild. The peculiarity of the marbling ensures meat to be tender and pleasant to the taste. These pigs have always been considered the best among those of the Italian breeds. For some time, the breeding of Cinta Senese pigs was decreasing, given the low profitability in favor of mixed breeds, and only a few years ago they have returned to vogue. Today the best Tuscan butchers show it off in their shops. Excellent hams, delicious sausages and very tasty cold cuts are produced with the Cinta Senese meats. The use in the kitchen is wide, even the most valuable parts such as the loin are the protagonists of fantastic recipes

General description of the product
The origins of this breed are very ancient and there are pictorial evidence that demonstrate the breeding of pigs similar to the current Cinta Senese since the Middle Ages. The most characteristic feature of this pig is the presence of a white belt, which gives the breed its name, on a coat that is black-slate in color. At risk of extinction in the immediate post-war period because it is less "heavy" than other pigs and due to the objective difficulties of breeding in the wild, it is today sent back to the passionate work of some farmers. The ham is recognized by its long and fine leg, the meat is firm and brown-red in color, the fat is ivory white or slightly pink. After a skilful processing and salting, it is aged for a period ranging from 15 to 20 months. The savory and decisive flavor surprises even the most refined palates for all its fragrance and elegance that give this ham a strong personality

Tuscan Wild Boar Ham 4.5 Kg |buy Wild Boar Ham online

Tuscan Wild Boar Ham (Prosciutto di Cinghiale)
Wild Boar Ham - a Tuscan excellence with a strong and remarkable flavor. This particular ham goes perfectly with red wines, craft beer, dried fruit and nuts.
The Tuscan Wild Boar Ham remains in brine for as many days as the kilos of its own weight. Each thigh generally weighs 4 to 6 kg. This is followed by the cold showering phase which removes excess salt. The result is a balanced product in terms of structure and fragrance, never too salty or too dry on the surface (“encrusted”, as one would say in the butcher's jargon).
The thin covering fat that distinguishes Tuscan Wild Boar Ham requires less salt than a pork leg because, given the leanness of the meat, the salt easily penetrates evenly.

Tuscan Wild Boar Ham
The desire to keep this process unchanged has led to the aging rooms being left completely natural.
The piedmont microclimate and the thin air of the Maremma allow to contain the thermal fluctuations throughout the year and to standardize this delicate phase.
Depending on the time and the aging stage, the windows are closed, opened or ajar even many times a day: the rotation is decided by sniffing the air of the rooms with the awareness of experience, as in the past.
Wild boar ham has on average a long aging period (up to 9 months) which, together with the added salt and good processing practices, protects from the danger of contamination by pathogens (Salmonella difteritis is Listeria monocytogenes). In addition, the ubiquitous vegetative flora of the cells and curing rooms - mainly micrococcaceae and naturally selected lactic bacteria in (healthy) environments - acts as a barrier against surface mycotoxinogenic molds. In the end, only the professional in aging process decides which products to release for sale, after having inspected each leg at the points deemed to be most critical.
The final result of such care is a soft Tuscan Wild Boar Ham, with a compact slice protected by a white covering fat. The strong and intense aroma recalls the naturalness of meat, you will be impressed by this unique taste of wild and delicate savour.

Curiosities of Wild Boar
The absence of milk derivatives and flours, together with the minimal presence of powdered microcomponents eliminates possibility of allergies of food sensitive or intolerant consumers. It is as if the respect, knowledge and awareness of the Tuscan tradition once again resulted in a food which, despite being rustic, without the need for restoration or sophistication, is in itself modern and in step with today's safety requirements. Even from a nutritional point of view, wild boar ham is the winner: high content of amino acids, low humidity, high-melting lipid fraction with low cholesterol intake: in short, a source of protein that is easily used in the daily diet.
This product genuineness is not only to be understood as a niche specialty, inextricably linked to the Maremma territory, or gastronomic curiosity to be fancy food; it is a product that is in all respects certainly exclusive and authentic due to its strong link with the territory and culture of Tuscany. In contrast to the rampant globalization and the flattening of tastes and habits, wild boar ham is confirmed as a noble product in respect of typicality.
Our Tuscan Wild Boar Ham is available for sale online, Salumeria Toscana is the leader in the sale of Tuscan cold cuts and cheeses.

Traditionally, the selected pigs are still today, slaughtered when they reach 180-200 kilograms in weight, after about 15 months of life, mostly spent outdoors.

The thigh, after having been trimmed in order to round off its profile, remains in salt for two to three months, during which it is massaged several times. Once the excess salt has been removed, it is washed and dried before proceeding with the curing, which for Gran Riserva hams lasts at least 20 months.
