"Appleton Farms prosciutto is a win in my book because the ingredients are simply pork and sea salt. And that's all an Italian dry-cured ham should be. It's not certified authentic prosciutto, but for a private label brand at a retailer, it's a home run. It's thinly sliced, soft, pliable, moist, tasty, well balanced with fat and protein, and has the perfect amount of saltiness. It practically melts in your mouth."
"But no matter what I go to Aldi for, I always pick up some prosciutto. And not just one package of prosciutto, I'll grab at least three (and sometimes clean out the shelf). Why more than one package? Because I inevitably inhale one when I get back to my car. Yes, it's that good, especially for the price - about $4 for 4 ounces. Put those two together and I'd be a fool to not grab it on every Aldi trip."
"Aldi is a meat-and-cheese lover's playground for creating the perfect charcuterie board. After I grab the prosciutto, I typically head for the cheese (these are some of the best cheeses to buy at Aldi) but it depends on my mood as to what I get - provolone or something spicy pairs well with the prosciutto. Then I peruse other charcuterie items (often the Specially Selected brand products) like stuffed olives or pickled peppers."
Aldi's Appleton Farms prosciutto contains only pork and sea salt and typically sells for about $4 per 4-ounce package. The prosciutto is thinly sliced, soft, pliable, moist, and well balanced between fat and protein, with a pleasant saltiness that allows it to melt in the mouth. Multiple packages are commonly purchased due to flavor and value. The prosciutto pairs well with provolone or spicy cheeses and with charcuterie items such as stuffed olives and pickled peppers. It functions as a convenient, affordable, filling lunch option and a versatile ingredient for many dishes.
