What You Should Know

Citterio Genuine Prosciutto di Parma is a small-format (3 oz) pack of thinly sliced, salt-cured ham that reads as an imported, pantry-ready piece of Italian charcuterie. In American supermarkets you’ll find it in the refrigerated deli or specialty cheese and charcuterie aisle—stacked near other cured meats, pre-sliced salami, burrata, marinated olives and ready-to-serve antipasti. It carries the visual cues of an imported premium product: Italian provenance claims, a Parma quality supervision note, and clean minimalist packaging—typically a clear vacuum-sealed tray or film that shows the ruby-pink, ribboned slices. This is the kind of item shoppers pull for weekend brunches and casual entertaining: folded on crostini, wrapped around melon, layered on a breakfast sandwich, or arranged on a last-minute grazing board. Brand positioning leans into authentic Italian craft and artisanal heritage, appealing to adults who value provenance, European food culture and premium convenience rather than mass-market kids’ branding. Labels emphasize “Genuine” and Parma supervision rather than organic or health halos; there are no kid-focused graphics or organic certifications on this product. Processing context: it’s a cured and aged ham—salt-cured in Parma, sliced and packaged—so it’s a traditionally processed meat, not a fresh cut. Sensory details: slices are silky, slightly translucent, with a melt-in-the-mouth fattiness, savory-salty pop and a delicate, dry-cured aroma. Packaging invites a quick ritual: open, fan the slices on a plate, pair with cheese and bread, and serve at room temperature for best flavor.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from just pork and salt but cured, aged, sliced and vacuum-packed, this is a processed food (salt-cured meat) rather than an ultra-processed industrial formulation, so it fits NOVA group 3.
