Colour parameters of Biceps Femoris (BF), Semitendinosus (St) and Semimembranosus (Sm) muscles and fat were measured in dry cured hams of Calabrese, Casertana, Cinta senese and Siciliano autochthonous genetic types. During the maturation period, the reflectance percentage and lightness decreased, while the yellow index increased. Reflectance percentage was higher in ham obtained from Casertana, especially in the 660-780 nm range, in comparison to that obtained from Siciliano, Cinta senese and Calabrese. Casertana ham had a higher lightness (L*) and also a lower red index (a*) than Cinta Senese. Calabrese and Casertana ham had a reflectance percentage of 360 to 600 nm, higher than Siciliano ham.
