Summer Punch

Tuscan fire-cured ham (Prosciutto Toscano, spiced cure)

Spicy, tropical-fruity, with a bright sour spark

• Tuscan fire-cured ham
• fresh raspberry
• fresh pineapple

A shot of summer that wakes you up. The Tuscan fire-cured ham is the provocation on the plate: coarser in the cut, bolder in salt, with that peppery, almost wild crusted-pepper character that makes Tuscany so unmistakable. Against this spice the pineapple lays its juicy, tropical foundation — acidity and sweetness in one, with enzymes that genuinely cleanse the palate. The raspberry on top is the bright spark: its fine acidity and perfumed scent shoot straight through the ham's spice and make everything bloom. "Summer Punch" earns its name — this is no quiet pleasure but a lively interplay of fire, fruit and freshness that strikes anew with every bite.

A small pineapple slice as the base, a fresh raspberry on top, then loosely wrap with a slice of fire-cured ham. Well-chilled fruit, ham at room temperature.
