Description

La Quercia is a producer of artisan American cured meats, founded in 2005 by Herb and Kathy Eckhouse. The company began with American prosciutto and introduced its Prosciutto Americano that year, which remains its most popular product. It later applied the same methods to other cuts of pork, including pancetta. The founders' appreciation for cured meats grew from the three and a half years they lived in Parma, Italy. The company states that it prioritizes sustainability and a responsible food system that supports farmers, artisans, suppliers, restaurants and stores.
