What You Should Know

Citterio Cubetti Prosciutto is positioned as a small-format, ready-to-use Italian-style cured ham that you'll typically find in the refrigerated deli or specialty cheese aisle, often shelved near other sliced and cubed cured meats, antipasti, olives, and prepackaged charcuterie accoutrements. Its 4 oz vacuum-sealed tray or pouch is convenient for shoppers grabbing ingredients for an impromptu appetizer or a compact pantry of deli proteins. The brand leans on old-world Italian heritage ("1878, Milano") and an artisanal image, appealing to consumers who want an authentic, premium charcuterie experience without buying an entire prosciutto leg—think foodies, entertainers, and time-pressed home cooks. The label leans into health halos with claims such as "All natural," "Minimally processed," and "No artificial ingredients," plus a USDA inspection statement, but it does not carry organic certification. In plain terms this product is a cured, salted ham: it has undergone preservation and portioning but lists only ham and sea salt as ingredients. Sensory notes: small, tender cubes with a delicate, savory pork aroma, a silky yet slightly chewy texture, and a pronounced saline finish; they slice or scatter easily over salads, pizzas, crostini, or pasta. Typical use rituals include assembling a quick charcuterie plate, tossing into a brunch frittata, or topping flatbreads—small, shareable servings that feel indulgent and effortless. The packaging and portion size reinforce convenience and entertaining readiness, fitting into American grocery culture as a premium convenience item for hosting, snacking, and recipe finishing.
