Prosciutto is a very dry ham. It is prepared by coating it in salt to draw out the moisture, then left to air dry for a couple years. It makes the meat very dry, very salty and very flavorful. Because it takes so long to make, it's also very expensive.
I don't buy it very often, but this was a treat for me. Or was going to be.
Thin sliced prosciutto, with ricotta cheese and freshly fried tortilla chips is absolutely fantastic.
