Poor Culatello
Category Products
Ironically named after the producers’ grandson, it is made from the animal’s shoulder, hence the “poor” appellation as opposed to the better-known Parma cured meat. Aged a minimum of 5 months, it has a distinct sweetness, and many proffer it to the nobler ham because of its strong taste. Weighing about 1.3 kg, it is sliced with a knife or better with a slicer.
