Itinerary

1

Parma

10:00AM: Here you'll learn about the Prosciutto crudo di Parma. The prosciutto di Parma is famous all over the world and stands out not only for its nutritional peculiarities (the only ingredients are pork and salt, without additives or preservatives) but also for the "crown", the brand that is branded only on the original. Only thighs of great weight are used. It is also called sweet ham as a low amount of salt is added during processing. The salting is accompanied by a short period of rest in cold rooms and followed by the sprinkling of a valuable fat, which takes the name of sugna, obtained from the pig.

Parma

12:45PM: At the local Parmigiano Reggiano tour of 1,5h.
