Ancient ways of processing pigs are reported by History even before the birth of the Italic civilization. The actual tradition of crudo ham, however, owes its origin to the people of the Etruscans of the Po Valley, while its spread must be credited to the ancient Romans who, starting with the first productions in Cisalpine Gaul (present-day Parma area) made it famous throughout the empireo….to the present day.
