Curious how the quality of prosciutto is preserved? There is an Italian law that states Parma prosciutto can not be produced anywhere but in the Parma province, in the Emilia-Romagna region of the north-central Italy. Parma prosciutto exclusively uses special Italian pigs. Every step of the process of making the Parma prosciutto, from the selection of the pigs, to the raising and feed of them to the slaughter and curing, is done under the supervision of the Istituto Parma Qualità or the I.P.Q. they are the Agency for Parma Ham Quality Certification.
