Why Prosciutto di Parma?

I always seek out Prosciutto di Parma when I’m buying prosciutto. It’s made with just two ingredients – the hind legs of specially bred Italian pigs and sea salt.

If you’re buying pre-sliced you’ll notice the gold crown on the label which ensures its quality. Otherwise, you can also find it at the deli counter in many grocery stores. Prosciutto di Parma producers take their time to craft the best prosciutto. It’s buttery yet surprisingly delicate.

It’s perfect for making an appetizer feel extra special, but it’s also perfect for everyday snacking… I tend to have a couple packages in my fridge at all times.

What is Grana Padano?

Grana Padano cheese is made from part-skim raw cow’s milk from Northern Italy. Each wheel of cheese must age a minimum of 9 months and once passing strict quality checks, it receives the fire-branded mark which certifies the quality of the cheese.

Note: You can also swap in parmesan cheese for this recipe.

How to make it

To make these bites, I cut a wedge of Grana Padano into thin slices about 1-inch wide in diameter. To each piece, I add a small dollop of fig preserves. Then, I cut each slice of prosciutto in quarters and wrap them around the cheese pieces.

That’s it! Super simple.

Wine pairings

Try pairing these bites with a zesty white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Gris. Their mouth-watering acidity will help cut through the sweetness and fattiness of the prosciutto and fig preserves.
Bubbles make a fun pairing – Try Cava, Prosecco or Champagne.
