It does spoil faster but I didn't notice any taste problems ... if anything I think the fancy pants deli meats and bacon taste better, not worse. But everyone's taste is different


On a related question, why does the Atkins carb counter list prosciutto as including carb? I think they say it has about 1 gram per 6 oz. of prosciutto. But prosciutto is air cured. Which if I understand correctly, means there's nothing in it but pork. Where does the carb come from? That makes no sense to me at all. Prosciutto is too expensive for anything but a special treat, but I sure would like to know if it really has carb or not.
