The Prosciutto and Arugula Panini has a rich history rooted in Italian culinary tradition. This delectable sandwich features thinly sliced prosciutto, a dry-cured ham, paired with peppery arugula and often complemented by creamy cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Renowned chefs in Italy, such as Gualtiero Marchesi and Massimo Bottura, have elevated this classic panini, infusing it with their own innovative twists. The dish hails from the Emilia-Romagna region, known for its exceptional prosciutto production. Today, the best versions of this panini can be savored in authentic Italian trattorias and specialty panini shops. The key to a perfect Prosciutto and Arugula Panini lies in sourcing high-quality prosciutto and balancing its saltiness with the peppery bite of fresh arugula. For a unique twist, some chefs substitute the traditional prosciutto with speck, a smoked Italian ham, adding a delightful smoky flavor to the sandwich.
