The Italian word for ham, Prosciutto, is dry-cured, and has never been cooked. Prosciutto, in the Italian language, is a reference to the cut of pork of which the ham comes from.
Prosciutto is commonly served with mozzarella or cantaloupe. These two pairings serve as a nice sweet contrast to the saltiness of the prosciutto.
