Meanwhile, sprinkle the poppy seeds in quite a large dish and add the tagliolini, ensuring they are very soft: if necessary add a little boiling water as this type of pasta absorbs lots of liquid. Top with a generous slice of Prosciutto di San Daniele.

In Friuli there is a place, a town with a truly special atmosphere, echoing with tradition, a home to wholesome goodness. If the idea is still unfamiliar, why not take a trip to San Daniele del Friuli to explore its streets and lanes: you will soon realize this is a unique town. For centuries, Prosciutto di San Daniele has been produced here, where the fresh air coming from the Alps meets the gentle breezes blowing in from the Adriatic, blending with the unusual characteristics of a soil of morainic origin. The result is a curing process so natural that it makes Prosciutto di San Daniele unlike any other charcuterie in the world.
