Secrets of Flavor: Production Method of Parma Ham PDO Greci Enzo

Parma Ham PDO Greci Enzo Gran Riserva is the result of a craftsmanship-inspired production process that draws from Italian tradition and attention to every detail. Every step is crucial to create a product of excellence, from salting to drying, to aging. This process, which requires time and mastery, is what gives our ham its inimitable flavor and superior quality.

Mastery in Salting

The process begins with the selection of the best hams from Italian breed pigs. These hams undergo precise salting, using only high-quality sea salt. This step is fundamental to remove moisture and prepare the ham for the aging process. During this phase, the ham absorbs the salt, which will contribute to preserving it and developing its unique flavor.

Elevating Drying

After salting, the hams are washed to remove excess salt and then left to air-dry for a specific period. This phase is crucial to allow the ham to develop its distinctive texture and flavor. During drying, moisture continues to decrease, and the ham acquires its typical shape and appearance.

The Magic of Aging

Aging takes place in traditional cellars of the Emilia-Romagna Apennines, where fresh air circulates slowly. For at least 16 months, but often longer for the Gran Riserva, the ham undergoes an extraordinary transformation. It loses weight, develops a unique complexity of flavor, and becomes incredibly tender when sliced. This process is the secret that makes Parma Ham PDO Greci Enzo Gran Riserva an authentic and unforgettable gastronomic delight.

Perfect Preservation: Parma Ham PDO Grecienzo

To maintain the freshness of our Parma Ham PDO Grecienzo, it’s essential to know the methods of storage and consumption.

Vacuum Sealing

If you have a vacuum sealing machine, it’s ideal to package the already sliced ham in vacuum bags. This method ensures preservation for up to 6 months, maintaining freshness and flavor.

Non-Vacuum Sealing

For those without a vacuum sealing machine, wrapping the cut portion of Parma Ham with plastic wrap or aluminum foil is equally effective. Store the ham in the refrigerator at a temperature between +2°C / +10°C to avoid unpleasant odors and excessive moisture absorption. For unsealed slices, consume them within 2-3 days to preserve their freshness.

The Flavorful History of Greci Enzo: Parma Ham PDO since 1948

Since 1948, Greci Enzo Spa in Felino, at the epicenter of the Food Valley, combines artisanal tradition with advanced technologies. The careful selection of fresh hams, strict production control, and a passion for quality have made Parma Ham PDO Greci Enzo an Italian excellence admired globally.

Gastronomic Experiences with Parma Ham PDO Grecienzo

Fully enjoying Parma Ham PDO Grecienzo is an extraordinary culinary experience. Its sweet and salty notes, enriched by aging, pair perfectly with various culinary preparations.

Cheese and Wine

For a classic pairing, serve the ham with high-quality cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino. Paired with a glass of dry white or light red wine, this duo creates a balance of flavors and aromas that delights the palate.

Fresh Fruit

Parma Ham pairs beautifully with the sweetness of fresh fruit. Melon, in particular, creates a delightful contrast. You can thinly slice the ham over melon slices for an elegant appetizer or a refreshing summer salad.

Creative Dishes

For a creative twist, experiment with using Parma Ham in different dishes. You can wrap it around grilled asparagus, stuff sandwiches with cheese and arugula, or even use it to elevate a gourmet pizza. The possibilities are endless to enrich your menu with this exquisite Italian ham.
