The First 'stache - prosciutto moustache




A close, uncured cousin of the bacon moustache, the prosciutto moustache has long been favored by young men of Italian descent, many of whom view the prosciutto stache as a first step toward the pancettastache, which remains the gold standard among Italian meat moustaches. Nevertheless, the prosciutto moustache remains so ingrained in Italian culture that the Pope himself is known to grow one while vacationing.

Cornelius 'stached this delicate prosciutto while dining at Mario Batali's OTTO Enoteca. Later, he ate testa. That means head, as in head cheese. Delicious! The prosciutto moustache may be worn year round.
