“The pros: Trader Joe’s Sliced Prosciutto is salty and full of ham flavor.
The cons: This product seems fattier than other brands of prosciutto.
The verdict: Prosciutto is a love it or hate it food item. Some people can’t stomach the idea of eating a pork product or eating a pork product raw. I, on the other hand, am grateful for such people, because that means more for me. If you’ve never had prosciutto before in your life, then my description of this product might not get your appetite going. It’s made from pig or wild boar thigh or hind leg. It’s cleaned, salted, and dried. No cooking of this product happens unless you choose to on your end.
This prosciutto has a very assertive saltiness. The saltiness mixed with the paper-thin slices works here. Now, there might be a few difference between Trader Joe’s brand and other varieties out there. This product does not seem to be as lean as some of the other varieties out there. When its sliced this thin, it did not have much of an impact on the taste. On its own, it was good and would absolutely make for good ingredient in an appetizer. Prosciutto does not come cheap regardless of what brand you reach for. This is not a product that can be rushed. That distinct flavor takes time to develop. Most importantly, a little goes a long way. Thin slices are almost a must with this product.
For $3.99 for a four ounce package, it will make for a nice addition to a cheese plate or crisped up as part of an appetizer”
