π½οΈ Organoleptic Characteristics
Appearance: Its texture is slightly moist, a distinctive sign of its quality and meticulous aging. The color reveals itself in a shade of vivid red in the lean part, embellished by a natural marbling and traces of tyrosine, evidence of the careful maturation process. The fatty part, in contrast, displays a pure white, an expression of the careful selection of the meat and its processing.
Aroma: At the nose, the Riserva Rara ham offers an inviting and complex olfactory experience. It is distinguished by its toasted notes, delicate yet well-defined, which harmoniously combine with a light scent of saltiness. This latter is a tribute to the quality of the salt used in its aging and evokes the natural and artisanal origins of this prized ham.
Taste: It is characterized by a perfect Balance between Sweetness and Savoriness, a result of the long aging and the excellent quality of the pigs. The Natural Sweetness comes through in every bite, leaving a lingering aromatic persistence that recalls the purity and authenticity of the ham.
βοΈ Preservation
To preserve the quality and flavor of Bedogni Egidio's Prosciutto di Parma PDO "Riserva Rara", it is essential to follow some simple but important guidelines for storage, both before and after opening the product.
Before opening, when the ham is still sealed in its vacuum packaging, it is recommended to store it in a cool and dry environment. In a very cool cellar or in the refrigerator at a temperature not exceeding 10Β°C, away from direct light and heat sources.
Once opened, the ham requires a bit more attention for storage. The ham should be kept in the refrigerator between 4Β°C and 8Β°C, wrapped in transparent film or in a clean cotton cloth. This helps to protect the meat from drying out and to maintain its aroma and taste. Additionally, it is useful to lightly oil the cut part with a bit of olive oil. This small step helps to preserve the moisture of the ham and to keep its organoleptic qualities intact. It is important to consume the ham within a few weeks of opening to best enjoy its characteristics, thus ensuring an optimal taste experience.
