Meaning & Story

Named after prosciutto, the Italian dry-cured ham — an artisanal product of patience, craft, and deeply satisfying flavor that is central to Italian culinary tradition.

Prosciutto is a name that requires full commitment and absolutely rewards it. It is long, Italian, and initially baffling to anyone who has not spent time in an Italian deli — but the moment your pet comes running when you call 'Prosciutto!' across the park, you will know it was the right choice. It suits a long-eared, reddish dog or a cat with undeniable Italian attitude. A name for owners who believe life is too short for ordinary pet names.
