Culatello di Zibello DOP – The King of Italian Cured Meats (8–9 lb)
Culatello di Zibello DOP is one of Italy’s most treasured artisanal salumi, crafted exclusively in the province of Parma. Made from the finest portion of the pork hind leg (White, Italian Landrace, and Duroc breeds), this prized cut is hand-salted, encased, tied, and slowly aged in the natural foggy climate of the lower Po Valley.
Its unmistakable pear-shaped form, delicate marbling, and signature DOP seal make it a true symbol of Italian heritage and craftsmanship.
