Principe Prosciutto
Italian Salumi brand Principe is bringing their renowned Prosciutto di San Daniele to Aussie shores for the first time.
But who are Salumi and what does this mean?
Well, their name, Salumi, originates from an Italian word that is similar to the French charcuterie and refers to a wide variety of Italian cured meats.
Prosciutto is a dry-cured Italian ham that is salted and air-dried, and Prosciutto di San Daniele is made in the town of San Daniele del Friuli, in northern Italy.
It has “Protected Designation of Origin” (DOP) status, meaning ONLY prosciutto made in this town can carry the name (similar to the protection that Champagne carries – only wine produced in this region of France can be called Champagne).
To celebrate the arrival of Principe’s Prosciutto di San Daniele, they have partnered with acclaimed dining destination Hinchcliff House to introduce an exclusive Aperitivo Hour menu, offering a fresh slice of Italy through decadent bites and cocktails.
