PARMA HAM DOP 24 MONTHS
PARMA HAM DOP 30 MONTHS
COMPANY. San Nicola is the brand to which the Parma Dop produced by Prosciuttificio Sole, founded in 1979 by Luigi Notari, are "signed". The factory is located near Corniglio (PR), at an altitude of 650m on the hills of Alta Parma, in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park, in a natural context rich in beech and chestnut woods and blown by the sea wind, which keeps balance temperature and humidity level. Ideal conditions, therefore, for the maturing of the thighs. After consolidating its presence on international markets, since 2000 the Notari family has been producing highly seasoned PDO Parma hams: 18, 4 and 30 months. A choice carried forward by the latest generation.
PRODUCTS. Parma Dop 24 months has both feet in typicality. The red-orange rnarenazed and fat-rimmed slice is classic. Characteristic is the taste dominated by sweetness and by a sapidity to the right degree, as well as the aromatic profile, delicate in its range of sensations (seasoned meat, dried fruit, butter, Parmesan and pastry), unfortunately slightly penalized by a slightly vintage fat. Parma Dop 30 months has a nice orange-ruby red slice with its right crown of thick pinkish adipose layer. Also in this ham we meet the style of the house: balanced taste in sapidity and sweetness, typical aromatic profile but also influenced by evolved and slightly Spanish fats", which give a pinch of astringency but tend to broaden the range of sensations (in addition to seasoned meat and cellar, notes of toasted nuts in shell, pastry and melted butter) in a texture of excellent chewiness.
