È la stessa aria che torna paziente e disponibile, diventando anch’essa quasi un ingrediente del prosciutto durante la stagionatura, che ne completa il ciclo produttivo dopo la salagione e altre delicate lavorazioni.

(*) If the text is talking about the season when the prosciutto is hung up to air, I would use returns (i.e. after the summer, the winter air returns..).
If not, I would use something like remains or hangs around
