Attilio Fontana Prosciutti s.a.s.

Founded in 1919, Attilio Fontana's company in Montagnana produces a single branded product: Prosciutto Veneto Berico-Euganeo DOP. The denomination thrives on geography—the area between the Adige river and the Euganean Hills—and a microclimate that slowly dries the hams, selected from pigs raised in the Po Valley. Each piece, weighing between 8 and 11 kilograms, ages for months until it develops the measured sweetness and clear marbling that distinguish this prosciutto from its more famous cousins. The character of the DOP is primarily found in its balance: a contained salt content that allows space for the fat and the tenderness of the slice, machine-cut thinly to melt in the mouth. It is a product that speaks of its corner of Veneto—the hills, the humidity of the rivers, the ventilation from the reliefs—more than an industrial brand, and which finds its territorial imprint in the sobriety of its taste.
