Parma Ham Salad - by Executive Chef Gero DiMaria at Ricciotti, The Star Vista

You can find the best Parma Ham, known as prosciutto in Italian, in Parma, Italy. Prosciutto is made from the thigh or leg of a pig or boar, by drying method, cured using sea salt, over lengthy period in cool well-ventilated environment. The leg is first heavily salted over several months, during which pressure is applied to the leg to extract moisture out of it. For the curing process to be complete it takes an average of two whole years. The best prosciutto are made from Landrace pigs, fed with whole grains, cereal, Parmigiano cheese.

At Ricciotti Pizza Pasta Grill, there are 10 different types of Salad - the diners are completely spoilt for choice ! 
  1. Mixed Salad 
  2. Caprese
  3. Romana Salad
  4. Salmon Salad 
  5. Ricciotti Salad 
  6. Caesar Salad 
  7. Caesar Chicken Salad 
  8. Caesar Salmon Salad 
  9. Seafood Salad
  10. Parma Ham Salad


For the Parma Ham Salad, Executive Chef Gero DiMaria uses good grade prosciutto, Mozzarella cheese cubes, black pepper, mixed greens, tomatoes - the creamy Mozzarella blends in perfect harmony with the salty taste of the prosciutto, and the refreshing taste of the greens, lending a savoury  flavour to this salad dish. I love it that I can see the whole  raw ingredients mixed well.
