Prosciutto Crudo Gran Riserva is the pinnacle of Tuscan curing — a whole leg of approximately 11 kg, selected from the finest available, aged for 24 months following the Tuscan norcini tradition. Time is the only added ingredient: twenty-four months of slow maturation give this prosciutto an extraordinarily soft texture, a deep ruby-red colour with veins of sweet white fat, and a complex, persistent aromatic profile that sets it apart from any standard-aged ham.
🏆 What makes it different from 12-18 month prosciutto
24 months of ageing is not just a matter of time — it is a complete transformation of the meat's structure. Progressive moisture loss concentrates the flavours and intensifies the savouriness. Proteins break down into free amino acids that generate complex notes of hazelnut, butter and dry hay. The fat oxidises slowly and acquires a sweetness that melts on the palate. The result is a prosciutto that needs no accompaniment — enjoyed pure, at room temperature, with a slice of Tuscan unsalted bread.

🔪 How to slice and store the whole leg
For the best result, slice with a meat slicer or a long, flexible ham knife — slices should be almost translucent, 1–2 mm thick. Serve at room temperature: remove the leg from the fridge at least 20 minutes before slicing. After each use, cover the cut surface with the protective fat initially removed and wrap in food paper — this prevents oxidation and preserves softness.
HoReCa tip: A whole 11 kg Gran Riserva leg is a visually and narratively powerful element in the dining room. Sliced at the table in front of the guest, it communicates artisanal quality instantly — a choice that pays back in perceived value far beyond the product cost.

🍷 Pairing suggestions
A prosciutto of this complexity pairs best with wines that do not overpower it: Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG for white wine lovers — the minerality cleanses the palate between slices. For reds: a young Chianti Classico or a light Morellino di Scansano. Avoid heavily tannic or aged reds that mask the delicate notes of the cured fat. With food: Tuscan unsalted bread, fresh or dried figs, fresh pecorino — nothing that distracts from the complexity of the prosciutto.

❓ FAQ — Prosciutto Crudo Gran Riserva
What is Prosciutto Crudo Gran Riserva?
A whole Tuscan raw ham leg aged for 24 months — twice as long as standard prosciutto. The extended ageing concentrates aromas, softens the meat structure and develops a complex flavour profile with notes of hazelnut, butter and dry hay.
How do I store the whole leg at home?
In a cool, dry place away from heat sources. After each slicing session, cover the cut surface with the protective fat and wrap in food paper. Avoid unnecessary refrigeration — excessive cold hardens the fat and reduces aroma.
Do I need a meat slicer?
For a whole leg, a meat slicer or a long, flexible ham knife is strongly recommended. Slices of 1–2 mm are ideal to appreciate the softness and aromatic complexity of the Gran Riserva.
Is it available in smaller portions?
No, this product is available as a whole leg only (~11 kg). For sliced portions see our Tuscan Prosciutti collection.
Do you ship to the UK and Europe?
Yes. The 11 kg leg falls in the EU shipping category over 10 kg → €33, with certified refrigerated packaging.
