Prosciutto di Parma
Nobody is arguing that thinly-sliced Italian prosciutto di Parma isn’t delicious, but with average prices ranging between $14.99/lb -$19.99/lb, you might think Americans would be skipping this dry cured specialty. But in 2010, the U.S. surpassed France to become Italy’s leading exporter of prosciutto and 2011 sales continue to impress. Exports in June 2011 were up 39.5 percent from the same period last year according to Perishables Group.
