Culatello di Zabello is one of the absolute best things I've ever put in my mouth. I had a seven course lunch at Trattoria la Buca (referenced in the article), and it was one of the most amazing meals I've ever had. The antipasti was all local salumi and cheeses, with the culatello being the star. If you've ever wondered what impact terroir has on wine, I'll tell you when I put my nose to the local wine they served with this course it smelled EXACTLY like the aging cellar for the culatello. I still have the menu from that meal.

Oh, culatello di Zabello...I await you with bated breath.

The cat ate the cheese, then sat by the mouse hole with baited breath.

One of the few correct uses of baited in that expression! Well done Becky.

The funny thing is, my first thought was "gee, I hope the new imports don't hurt Boccalone and Fatted Calf"!

SF is one of the few places where the ban on imports actually did create local industry. Unable to import many of these cured meats, folks here developed them locally. I know it's not exactly the same, and this doesn't benefit folks in, for example, Colombus, but there it is.
