There is something about making and serving a recipe with less than 5 ingredients which is so incredbily satisfying.  When you start with the best ingredients, you really don't need much to make something delicious.  This recipe is all about the perfectly ripe persimmons and the delicate and balanced flavor of Prosciutto di San Daniele.  When making these super easy appetizer, plan ahead. You want to purchase your persimmons a few days in advance of using them to ensure they reach peak flavor and ripeness.  Cut the persimmons into wedges, wrap them in a delicious blanket of Prosciutto di San Daniele, hit them with a little olive oil and sea salt and you have a stunning and festive appetizer that takes less than 5 minutes to make. 

Prosciutto di San Daniele is crafted in it's namesake region of Italy. San Daniele is a small hill town in a special location where the northeast winds blow from the Carnic Alps to the Adriatic sea. These unique conditions, combined with selected farms where pigs are carefully reared and the expert hands of master prosciutto makers, result in a superior prosciutto that is a true delicacy. Be sure to look for the Prosciutto di San Daniele PDO seal to ensure you are buying authentic Prosciutto di San Daniele from Italy, the flavor will speak for itself!
