About

Dry Cured Salami

Our dry-cured salami, in general, is ground and stuffed into a casing using whole muscle from primals (the whole major muscle group) and trimmings from all parts of the pig. Using multiple muscle group portions of meat ensures the best flavor from all the animal cuts. Our salamis do not use offal (organ meat/innards), as other large manufacturers may use. We only use 100% meaty muscle tissue and whole, healthy animal fat – this is a traditional, slow, and expensive method to make authentic dry-aged sausages (salami), and the only way to achieve high-quality – no shortcuts – this is the way Italy has produced salami for thousands of years.
We continually seek and discover new and old salumi from around the globe, always bringing our customers the best of what is available worldwide. All our salamis are from family-owned independent businesses, not major conglomerates or giant corporate-owned manufacturers. Quality, taste, and old-world technique will always remain our number one criteria when sourcing products. Animal breed, meat quality, responsible farming, curing methods, and price are other critical factors in our selection. You will always find only the best quality in America at Tony’s.

The undisputed greatest Prosciutto in the world. Period.

Prosciutto di Parma

Although we may carry other fine Italian made prosciutto, we will always carry Prosciutto di Parma as our premier Prosciutto in our Old World Meat collection.

Prosciutto di Parma or Prosciutto of the Parma region of Italy is superior for many many reasons. To this day the only ingredient in these dry cure hams are Pork, Sea Salt, Air and Time. No water added, not preservatives, no other additives, the same way is was created and made during the Roman Empire.

Only local heritage pork breeds can be used in making Prosciutto di Parma. These breeds date back over 2000 years. The pigs must be verified genetically and tattooed by the Consorzio del di Parma with the famous Parma Crown to guarantee their authenticity. They are feed a healthy controlled diet of natural foliage and whey from the Vacha Rossa or Local Red Cow of the Parma Region. Prosciutto di Parma meat is sweeter and actually picks up the flavors of the regions sweet pasture grasses transferred to the meat from the local feed and whey consumed during the pigs life cycle.

Farmers have been using the whey (liquid expelled from the milk / cheese curds in the making of cheese) of the Vacha Rossa, or Parma’s local Red Cow, grown in this region to make Reggianno Parmesan Cheese for centuries. As the cows feed, they naturally ingest the local grass flavors and characteristics of the region. Although, it has been studied for years, and the science is greatly understood, there are still some unidentified reasons Reggiano di Parma (region of Parma Italy) produces superior cheese, and hence superior pigs (raised on the local dairy). Some say it’s the grass, some say the soil, and some say the unique milk produced by the Red Cow. Maybe this region just has the some special magic it has yet to reveal. But the results are stunning.

 

With the exception of modernization of state of the art sanitary facilities and stainless steel equipment and operation the process remains essentially the same as it used to be done in drying caves and the farmers barns years ago. Pork hind legs, salt, gentle sea breezes and time is still all that is used to create these amazing hams.

 

Tony’s carries 2 levels of Prosciutto. Both from the Italy. Our 200 day aged Prosciutto was hand selected for its sweet and delicate flavor with enough age to create the classic Prosciutto experience, yet a lower price point. A great everyday Prosciutto, fantastic in salads, recipes, sandwiches or Charcuterie platters. Serve with fresh fruit such as cantaloupe.

 

The ultimate is Tony’s 600 day aged Prosciutto. That’s over 1 ½ years aged. This creates the same sweet and delicate flavor, with a creamy and ‘melt in your mouth’ fat with a more intense flavor and nuttiness due to this increased dry aging process. If eaten slow and mindfully, one can taste the savory natural pork flavor, the sweetness of the Parma whey used in the feed and even the humid sea Italian air. By far the best Prosciutto in the world, right here at Tony’s. This high quality will only be seen at the most specialty and remarkable restaurants, country clubs and Salumerias in the world.

 

Served best alone with compliments of fresh seasonal tomatoes and basil, fresh Buratta or fresh Mozzarella cheese, Olives, baguette, and a nice Tuscan olive oil, or Colorado’s famous sweet Rocky Ford Cantaloupe…pairs beautifully with a nice Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc or let your imagination run wild.
