Old School Italian Cantina

After 6 long, cold winter weeks, the Sopressata and Capocollo are ready just in time for Easter. The Cantina averaged 70% humidity and 46 degrees here in Wisconsin. The window stays cracked open and of course, faces North.

Is my prosciutto ready?

Is my prosciutto ready?

Was 28lb fresh. Is currently 14 months old. Has lost more than 30% of it's weight. Hasn't changed in appearance in maybe a couple of months. Feels dense but has a little bit of give to it. No off smells. Hasn't developed any mold in at least a few months. My Zio says it looks done, but Im afraid to cut it open too early and ruin it. This is my first prosciutto. Thanks.
