presunto

Portuguese air-dried cured ham, usually sliced paper-thin, assertively salty and aromatic.

Presunto is Portugal's air-dried cured ham, often a little saltier and more robust than Spanish serrano. It is sold in Portuguese grocery shops, at well-stocked delicatessen counters, or by mail order.

Substitute:

Serrano or another air-dried cured ham works well; prosciutto di Parma is milder and sweeter, so the dish turns out a little less savoury.
