Peach and Prosciutto with Balsamic Glaze

This traditional and yet elegant recipe is from the Northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna where prosciutto (Parma Ham) is produced and strictly protected by the Italian government to maintain purity and authenticity.  The best of all Italian food is KEPT in Italy and is not exported to other countries.  Nothing that we experience here in the States can even come close to the flavor and color of the prosciutto available in any of Italy.

Trust me:  You can’t get the good stuff outside of Italy!

So many people who visit Italy, upon their return say, “the food just tastes so much better in Italy”.  Well, now you know why.  It IS different because it is their BEST!

I bought the big chunk of prosciutto shown in the photo below for 45 euro (approximately $70); because it is perishable, it was not allowed to be shipped from the UPS/Fed Ex store in Modena.  At the airport, it is confiscated at customs and security.

Don’t try to bring it out of the country and throw your money away or choose to do as I did:  give the prosciutto to someone you know in Italy to enjoy!  I gave it to my cousins to enjoy in return for everything that they did for us during our recent visit.
