The Leporati company of Langhirano, located in the heart of the hilly area of Emilia-Romagna, is an icon in the production of Parma ham and traditional Italian charcuterie in general. Founded in 1950, Leporati has become a reference point in the processing and curing of ham, keeping tradition alive while constantly innovating its processes to guarantee products of the highest quality.

The History of Leporati
Leporati was born thanks to the passion of a family that has been able to combine the experience of traditional craftsmanship with modernity. The choice of Langhirano as the company's headquarters was no coincidence: this location, famous for its hills and ideal microclimate for curing hams, has made the Leporati brand a guarantee of quality.
Over the years, the company has been able to adapt to changes in the market, maintaining a high standard of quality and a production that respects the strict specifications laid down by the Parma Ham Consortium, of which Leporati is a member. The passion for ham processing has been passed down from generation to generation, consolidating the brand's success on the national and international market.

Parma Ham Production
The production process of Leporati Parma Ham is an art that begins with the selection of meat, strictly from pigs from Italian farms. The quality of the meat is fundamental, and the company guarantees the use of only animals that meet the high standards required to obtain the famous Parma Ham.
The processing of the ham takes place through careful salting, followed by the curing phase that lasts at least 12 months, but can also last up to 24 months, to obtain a more intense flavor and taste. During this phase, the ham is constantly monitored to ensure its final quality. The curing process is largely dependent on the climatic conditions of the Langhirano area, which offers an ideal environment thanks to humidity and controlled temperature, thus allowing the hams to develop the organoleptic characteristics typical of this product.

Quality and Tradition
Leporati has always placed particular emphasis on quality, guaranteed by a production process that combines tradition with modern control techniques. The company is also very attentive to animal welfare and environmental sustainability, choosing suppliers who respect the environment and animal welfare standards.
The quality of Leporati ham is demonstrated by the mark of origin, which certifies the product's provenance and its compliance with the regulations of the Parma Ham Consortium. Each ham is labeled with the "Parma" mark and a serial number that allows its origin and production to be traced.

Conclusions
The Leporati company of Langhirano represents a point of reference in the panorama of Italian and international cured meats. Its ability to blend tradition, quality and innovation makes it an example of excellence that preserves the roots of the past while looking to the future with enthusiasm. Leporati Parma ham is a symbol of Italian gastronomy that, thanks to the commitment of the family and the work of all its collaborators, continues to conquer palates all over the world.
