It's Italian ham basically. You can usually find it in the "deli/produce" area of the store where they have those specialty lunch meats, etc.

That sounds amazing! Stupid question, what is prosciutto?

"Prosciutto (IPA: pronounced "pro-shoot-toe") is the Italian word for ham. In English the word is almost always used for an aged, dry-cured, spiced Italian ham that is usually sliced thin and served raw. In Italian, however it's paramount to distinguish between "prosciutto crudo" (raw) and "prosciutto cotto" (cooked - which instead identifies the wet cured ham). "
