The Museo del Prosciutto is located in Langhirano, the recognized capital of ham, in the fully restored complex of the former Foro Boario, a suggestive rural architecture from 1928. Langhirano is an oasis of peace, characterized by the mild climate and air, by the suggestive vineyards and by the extraordinary Castello di Torrechiara wonderful on the hill, with its mighty walls, and the fifteenth-century village.

There are eight thematic sections, which exhibit photographic materials, historical documents, machinery and audio-visual projections, dedicated to the territory, to the pig breeds that are decisive for the quality of the products, to salt and its fundamental nutritional, historical and political role, to pork butchery and its ancient gestures, to the numerous cured meats of the Parma tradition, to the extraordinary gastronomic richness, to the processing of ham and to the role of the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma in safeguarding quality.
