There are two main types of prosciutto: prosciutto cotto and prosciutto crudo. Prosciutto crudo is the type you are most likely to find in the grocery store and on restaurant plates. It is cured with salt but not cooked, giving it an intense flavor and a unique texture. Prosciutto cotto is cooked before curing and, as a result, has more moisture than the uncooked variation. It is often sliced or rolled and is a great option if you want a less salty flavor.
