Definitely a first world problem.... I like di Parma. The local market will put each slice between paper thin sheets of plastic (not saran-wrap). Problem is that the slices are so thin that it's hard to remove from the plastic. It comes off in pieces rather than a slice. We like it thin as it's easier to fold, wrap around fruit like figs / melon slice, etc. Easier to chew, better meat to fruit ratio, blah blah. But it's academic if the slices are in pieces. What thickness do you guys request? What's the typical recommendation? "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

Thin, otherwise you can't chew through it. | |||

It should be thin as possible and each slice put individually on wax paper. These go to eleven. | |||

Try letting it come up to room temp before trying to remove from the film. | |||

Ok. Keep it thin but let it come to room temp before trying to peel off a slice. Thanks. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

Yes I always ask them to slice slightly thicker so it does not tear apart. They'll give you samples until you find the perfect thickness. I usually have to have them adjust it a few times.  | |||

As an Italian I can tell you that the problem is the plastic wrap not the thickness. Wax paper and as thin as they can slice it and enjoy your meloni! ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Thin is good but on wax paper. Use a butter knife if it's difficult to separate. | |||

I didn't know of Prosciutto di Parma. Here's a pretty good article about it. At least I think it's pretty good. https://parmacrown.com/what-is-prosciutto/ Serious about crackers | |||

Fruit wrapped in prosciutto is a new concept for me. But I'm thinking that banana would be an interesting target fruit. Serious about crackers | |||

Just like apple / apple sauce well complements pork chops, fruits such as figs, melon, red/black grapes and cherry complement prosciutto. YMMV. One of my favorite is a slice of prosciutto on toast tips with sour cherry spread, with a half a red grape on top. Bite size morsels with a variety of tastes and textures. Sum is greater than the individual parts. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned."
