Prosciutto di San Daniele 18 Months - Boneless

Dok Dall’Ava’s Prosciutto di San Daniele is one of Italy’s most cherished cured hams, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and time. Aged a minimum of 18 months, this boneless 19-pound whole ham embodies the signature qualities of Prosciutto di San Daniele D.O.P.—delicate, fragrant, and sweetly savory. Only the finest Italian pork legs are selected, sourced from certified pigs fed on a wholesome diet of cereals and milk serum. After arrival at the San Daniele del Friuli facility within two days of slaughter, the legs are inspected, hand-salted with sea salt from the protected Santa Margherita park in Puglia, and rested to begin their slow transformation. Over 400 days, the hams develop their complex flavor and signature silky texture before being certified and branded under the strict supervision of Italian D.O.P. authorities.

This 18-month-aged prosciutto is sublime when sliced paper-thin and served simply with melon, figs, or fresh mozzarella, or in a sandwich with mozzarella and a splash of EVOO. It also elevates pasta, risotto, and antipasto platters, and its balanced sweetness pairs beautifully with full-bodied Italian reds or crisp Prosecco. Each ham is both a culinary treasure and a product of careful time, patience, and respect for regional tradition.

Since 1955, the Dall’Ava family has produced world-renowned San Daniele hams from their Friulian factory, blending innovation with heritage. Founder Mario Dall’Ava’s dedication to quality continues under his son’s stewardship, with the family overseeing every stage—from sourcing to curing—to ensure that each ham reflects the unmistakable terroir of San Daniele. With just 30,000 hams produced annually, Dok Dall’Ava remains a benchmark of excellence for Italian prosciutto.
