15. Prosciutto: Eataly's Tess McNamara & Prosciutto di Parma

​Prosciutto is the Italian word for ham. Each paper-thin slice boasts a sweet and salty flavor, thanks to a traditional curing process that has been around since ancient Roman times. Few in the U.S. know more about it than Eataly's Tess McNamara, head of salumi and formaggi, who goes into great detail about the ingredients and process for curing the meat. She shares Eataly's variety of prosciutti sourced from the very best salumifici (cured meat producers) throughout Italy. Among them, Prosciutto di Parma, a delicate, sweet cured pork made in Parma, a small province in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, which is considered one of the oldest varieties of prosciutto.Follow @eatalyflatiron @tessofthecaves @prosciuttodiparma_it @ingredientinsiders @truffledawg @theprosciuttoqueenhttps://www.prosciuttodiparma.com/https://www.eataly.com/us_en/stores/prosciutto/In partnership with The Chefs' Warehouse, a specialty food distributor that has been purveying high-quality artisan ingredients to chefs for over 30 years @wherechefsshophttps://www.chefswarehouse.com/Produced by HayNow Media @haynowmediahttp://haynowmedia.com/
