UNFORGETTABLE ITALY Contest: Week 26 Steemexclusive Prosciutto di Modena PDO
I call this photo which still makes my mouth water - "The Wall Of Fame".
I took the photograph outside Bologna on the 24th July 2017 on a fun family holiday celebrating Kathryn's 30th birthday.

The prosciutto I photoed had already been cured in salt for about a week. Then another thin layer of salt is added and it's rested for 15 to 18 days. After all this the prosciutto ham is hung in a climate control room for about 80 days. Then pig fat is layered on the ham and it is left to finish curing in a dark, cool room for a minimum of 12 months. To test the quality they poke the ham in 5 specific places (which I might reveal in another post!) and those which are found suitable receive the PDO certification.
Ham is one of my favorite foods to eat. This post on hams is really interesting

If you have it, send me two to Venezuela .. hehehe in December we make a ham bread and with Prosciutto it would be divine
😋I love the sound of that ham bread @wendyalexa I might be even tempted to deliver some Prosciutto in person as December’s much warmer over there 😜
You will be welcome ... here we have several places ... some with Snow (in Merida), deserts (in Medanos de Coro), beaches (in Puerto la Cruz, Margarita, Choroni) and jungles (in La gran Sabana) ... I am in Cd Bolivar with the majestic Rio Orinoco and Calipso del Callao
That is very good to know @wendyalexa 💁♀️ I have seen the Rio Orinoco on National Geographic and based on photos I would love a holiday on Isla Margarita 🏖
