Editor's Review
La Quercia is the rare American producer of long-cured prosciutto — Berkshire and Tamworth heritage pork dry-cured 18-24 months in the central-Iowa facility's specialized humidity-controlled aging rooms. The technique mirrors traditional Parma and San Daniele methods; the heritage-breed pork is sourced from a small network of Iowa-and-region farms with no antibiotics, hormones, or feedlot-finishing. Catalog goes deeper than just prosciutto — also pancetta, lardo, guanciale, capicola, and a few seasonal cured specialties. Available D2C, in better grocery cured-meat sections, and at restaurant supply. Direct affiliate.
