prosciutto is a delicacy...it is SO hard to find the right type...prosciutto has to be massaged with wine every 2 days and smoke dried at exactly the right temperature for an exact amount of time to keep the meat soft and make it almost melt in your mouth...
you have to use a pin made out of animal bone to test and see if it has dried correctly and getting the consistency of the meat so that it is soft but malleable is super hard....
it is literally desert meat, to be consumed with the right wine...it has very little to do with beef jerky...
