Ermes Fontana started his business in 1959 with the salting of 17 hams. Today, the third generation of the Fontana family produces more than 500,000 hams annually as well as a full range of Italian charcuterie. The Fontana Ermes S.p.A. factory, located in the lush heart of the Baganza Valley, affords the ideal environment for curing prosciutto. Mountain breezes waft through the factory's narrow windows and slowly dry-cure the legs, resulting in sweet and well-balanced hams.
Dry-cured for 13-14 months, this iteration of their classic air-dried, salt-cured prosciutto features a silky texture and delicate, buttery flavor. Each leg comes from European pigs and is made according to Emilian tradition with no additives, nitrites, nitrates, or preservatives. The resulting Prosciutto is gluten-free, lactose-free, and all-natural. A statement piece at any holiday gathering or party, the roughly 13-pound legs are deboned and ready for slicing. The star of any charcuterie board, the savory slices can also be wrapped around fruits and vegetables, draped over a pizza, layered in an indulgent sandwich, or crisped on top of salads.
