Prosciutto di Modena PDO is a raw and cured charcuterie product obtained through the processing of fresh legs from heavy pigs born and reared in Italy. Immediately after slaughtering, the fresh legs are refrigerated until they reach a temperature of around 0°C. The salting operations are repeated twice, after which the hams are left to rest for at least 60 days in special rooms with controlled temperature and humidity. After the resting period, the legs are washed and dried before curing, which lasts for at least 14 months from the start of processing. Greasing takes place during this period, which involves the exposed part of the ham being covered with a paste of pork fat, salt, pepper, and rice flour.

The flavor is savory yet not salty, with a pleasant, sweet, and intense fragrance. It is best cut in thin slices shortly before serving. Its flavor is brought out when accompanied by bread, grissini, or the traditional Modena tigella or crescentina bread. It can also be served with other charcuterie products and soft cheeses.
