Italian term or phrase: Fetta mossa
Ciao a tutti,
mi trovo a tradurre un sito web di prosciutti e mi sono imbattuta nella frase "affettamento a fetta mossa" e non ne riesco a trovare un corrispettivo in inglese. Qualcuno di voi ne è a conoscenza?
Il target è un pubblico internazionale.

Fluffed or (ruffled) slices
Explanation:
I think it refers more to how the slices are laid down and packaged, often they are interleaved and stacked then packaged flat. In this case I understand the slices are fluffed or ruffled and packaged in a deeper pack.

fetta mossa
shaved slices


Explanation:
I'm not sure, but I think they are called this, although it sounds odd to me.

This German site uses the term, and I have found it elsewhere:

http://www.foodfacts.com/ci/nutritionfacts/meat-and-meat-pro...

On reflection, I think this term tends to describe thin slices that tend to be arranged in this way when packed: I wonder if a better term might be "interleaved".

It's just that I don't think that ham (etc.) can be cut in a wavy shape, and that the waviness would be due to the way the slices are delivered into the packs, etc. I think it's about slices that are not laid flat but folded in a semi-doubled way.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi! Thank you for your answer. I think this term refers to the thickness of the slice and not the way it is laid down and packaged as Lisa Jane said. Hany how, thanks again because I have found this term further on in the translation! :)
