From Prosciutto di Parma to other traditional salumi, each bite tells the story of local craftsmanship and time-honored techniques, all perfectly paired with a refreshing local wine.

Along the way, we stop at an authentic cheese shop to taste the king of Italian cheeses: Parmigiano Reggiano. Here, you’ll learn what makes this product so unique while sampling different aged varieties.
  • Next, we visit a local bakery to taste one of the region’s most beloved savory specialties. At Panetteria Anna, we enjoy a delicious strip of erbazzone, a traditional baked pastry filled with greens, cheese, and herbs that represents the everyday comfort food of Emilia-Romagna.
  • Strolling through Piazza Garibaldi, the main square of the city and the heart of public life, we stop at one of Parma’s most traditional salumeria-restaurants. Here, you’ll enjoy a tasting of freshly handmade pasta, a true symbol of local cuisine, prepared according to time-honored recipes passed down through generations.
