{"product_id":"prosciutto-di-cinta-senese","title":"Prosciutto Cinta Senese DOP ~8 kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eProsciutto di Cinta Senese DOP is the supreme prosciutto of Tuscany — produced from the leg of the Cinta Senese DOP pig, raised semi-wild in the Sienese hills, aged for 24 months in a craft process that transforms each ~8 kg leg into a masterpiece of flavour, aroma and complexity. The meat is vivid red with pronounced natural marbling; the fat is white-pink, sweet and aromatic — a distinguishing feature of Cinta Senese that no intensively farmed pig can replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🐖 What makes this prosciutto different from all others\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCinta Senese is the oldest pig breed of Tuscany — already depicted in Ambrogio Lorenzetti's 1338 frescoes in the Palazzo Pubblico di Siena. Raised semi-wild in oak forests and open pastures, it feeds on acorns, chestnuts and wild roots that transfer their aroma directly into the meat. The natural marbling — the fat veins running through the muscle — is more pronounced than any other Italian pig breed, and during ageing it becomes a softness and savouriness that is recognisable at the very first bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EU DOP designation guarantees that every leg comes exclusively from pigs born, raised and processed in Tuscany according to a certified production code — no compromise on provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📋 Product details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProsciutto di Cinta Senese DOP\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCinta Senese DOP — semi-wild, Tuscany\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhole leg on the bone with trotter\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e~8 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e24 months\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCinta Senese DOP pork leg, salt, pepper, spices, natural flavourings\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCool, dry place · after first slice: cover cut surface with food paper\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVacuum-sealed · refrigerated +2\/+4°C\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSiena, Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🔪 How to slice and enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlice by hand with a long, flexible ham knife or a meat slicer — almost translucent slices of 1–2 mm. Serve at room temperature without exception: remove the leg from the fridge at least 20–30 minutes before slicing.
