parma ham, ricotta and basil bruschetta.

Parma ham recipes

Deliciously decadent Parma ham, on a bruschetta with a twist. Served on toasted bread, this take on the Italian classic is smothered with creamy ricotta cheese and fresh basil, before being finished with ribbons of inviting prosciutto di Parma.

Established for centuries, there are many elements that go into the production of prosciutto di Parma. The Parma region of Italy has the perfect conditions for creating this delicious ham, with the hanging, drying and curing taken very seriously to create its unparalleled sweetness. Provenance is key, with the famous 5 point Ducal Crown fire brand certifying its authenticity of Parma origin. The mouthwatering product, in my opinion, can be best enjoyed in the easiest of ways, to really appreciate the flavour and quality. Hopefully this simple, Italian inspired recipe does just that.

Parma ham

Step one. Begin by toasting your slices of bread.

Step two. Next, whizz up most of your basil in the food processor. Keep aside some of the smaller leaves for presentation. If you don't have a processor, just finely chop.

Step three. Mix together a tsp of ricotta with the basil and a drop of olive oil to create a paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.


Step four. Assemble your bruschetta with a spread of ricotta cheese, a little of the basil mix and the Parma ham. Finish with extra black pepper and fresh basil leaves.

Buon appetito!

  4. It is extremely easy to dehydrate food and is as simple as processing by flipping on the "on" switch once the food you are dehydrating is in the right compartment. Food Dehydration
