Hi Guga, Culatello is not a salame (a spiced sausage with pepper, garlic and other spices, and a mix of different meats) but ham (the whole pig's dried/cured (only salt and "mold") leg). In fact is a very specific parma ham and quite similar (in the way it is made, not so much in the taste) to the spanish jamón serrano/ibérico...

@@NumberFourteen Yep. Salume means "Salted meat" from latin. So it's a way to call all the cured meets that are done in italy, like Prosciutto, prosciutto cotto, bresaola, salame (kinda confusing, uhm? ahaha), Capocollo etc... If you see them, they are a lot similar in the exterior, but what it changes is the process or the type of meat. A lot of salumi are made of cured pork, but there are also bresaola that is beef for example.

I love the idea of extremely expensive meat having mold involved, because you know that it was originally discovered because somebody was starving and had no choice but to eat moldy meat and realized it tasted amazing. To go from "I am so poor that I have no choice but to eat moldy meat" to "This moldy meat is so amazing you have to pay a ton of money to eat it" is hilarious to me.

About the same story for seafood here in the US. It used to be in the 1800s and I think really early 1900s, if you ate lobster, clams, shrimp, oysters, etc it meant you were poor. At that time the rich man's food was beef and maybe lamb.

I live in Parma and I m very happy your appreciation to our foods. The restaurant you visited is one of the most highly rated in the area. Except for culatello, the other plates are not classic parmesan food, but I m sure you ate marvellous dishes prepared with the best ingredients. Thanks for these videos

I’ve been here a few times. It is by far the best ham in the world. And to be honest, the michelin star restaurant is good, but the best one is the one that is across it. It is a cosy small italian “simple” bistro where they serve all handmade pasta and home made bread together with the Culatello. It is just heaven if you’d ask me, definitely recommended and still not touristic. Hopefully it stays that way:)

Guga, by my understanding, you went to very unique and expensive places but I really really hope you got the chance to go and eat somewhere with homemade cuisine like dishes; and here I'm not talking just about having pizza, but trying different dishes in different places. We especially have farmhouses who are pretty lovely to stop by and eat to, and they offer a huge variety of dishes for such a cheap price mostly, but you'll never leave famished. Anyway, culatello is delicious, for me it's hard to choose between it and the prosciutto of Parma, but there are so many delicious hams and salami here in every part of Italy, its actually hard to choose.

"Salumi", in Italy, usually pork, though sometimes other animals like beef, horse or turkey, air dried, sometimes ground and fermented first, called "Salame" (plural. "Salami"). "Culatello" is a type of "Salumi", tough not "Salame", the carefully trimmed, isolated largest muscle of the "Prosciutto" (Ham), washed with wine and proprietary seasonings depending on producer, then stuffed into a pork bladder, tied for even drying, and cured for at least 9 months, (espescially for smaller ones), and up to 3 or 4 years. (The trimmings are used to produce salami.) The mold grows on the outside of the casing, never actually touching the meat, and imparts the flavors of the humid air coming off the Po River, traditionally regulated by opening and closing special louvers depending on the time of day. The mold also slows the moisture loss so that, espescially in the larger hams, the Culatelli dry and equalize the moisture slowly to avoid case hardening and rot. Charcuterie is the French tradition of preserving meat, literally by cooking, though often is associated with dry curing as well, but only in France, not Italy, definitely not in Parma. The word itself translates to "cooked flesh". Most would argue that saucisson sec, and jambon Bayonne, for example would also be considered charcuterie; certainly the term is used more broadly here in America.

Prosciutto and salami in Italy goes beck before the Romans. The word salame comes from sale, salt, they dried the meat with salt or smoked.

That bug is called a green fig beetle, you can also find it in western parts of the US and Mexico
