Prosciutto di Parma pizza is a delicious combination of salty, cured ham and savory pizza toppings. Proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage, ensuring a safe and enjoyable eating experience. This gourmet pizza requires careful handling to preserve its delicate flavors and textures.

Storage Time

1–2 days in the refrigerator, 2–3 months in the freezer

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below.

Freezing

To freeze Prosciutto di Parma pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn. For best results, freeze individual slices. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust and prosciutto.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or ammonia-like odor
• Slimy or sticky texture on the crust or toppings
• Visible mold growth
• Discoloration of the prosciutto (graying or darkening)
• Off flavors or a rancid taste
