3) Let’s know Parma, in the Emilia-Romagna region? -VISIT THE FARNESE THEATER, THE PIAZZA DELLA PACE AND THE CATHEDRAL

The magnificent Farnese Theater deserves to be highlighted! The theater dates back to 1618, but was inaugurated in 1628. The theater was destroyed during World War II, but was rebuilt in 1956 and the wood used is the original. Leaving the Palazzo della Pilota complex is Piazza della Pace. This is where the fantastic historic center of Parma begins.

Go straight ahead and go to Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi; in the middle of the square is the monument dedicated to the historic Italian character who names the place. There, in the same square, there is also Noi da Parma, one of the most traditional houses in the production of ham. We continue to Piazza Duomo where there are two important points: the Battistero di Parma and the Cathedral itself. Another interesting place is the Ducale Park, which houses a beautiful garden known as ‘il giardino’.

How to visit a Parmigiano Reggiano factory?

First, let’s make one thing very clear: cheeses called ‘parmesan’ outside Italy ARE NOT PARMIGIANOS REGGIANOS, they are versions. The traditional and authentic has been manufactured for hundreds of years only in Parma and follow VERY strict rules! Another important fact to remember is also to remember that Parmigiano Reggiano IS NOT A BRAND, it is a type of cheese and is considered the king of Italian cheeses.

And why is it so special?

Because it is a completely artisanal cheese. It is all handmade and starts with the distinguished feeding of the cows. Milk is essential to successfully making this cheese of the gods! Quality control is very strict and cheeses that are not approved are eliminated. Parmesan maturation can vary between 18, 24 and 30 months and an entire piece of this gastronomic wonder can cost up to 1,000 euros and weigh 30 kilos! To schedule a visit, access this website, which brings together all certified parmigiano producers. At the end of the visit, there is a tasting and several tips on how to consume the cheese.

How to visit a prosciutto di Parma factory?

The prosciutto di Parma is one of the most delicious in the world! The remarkable flavor is unmistakable and goes very well with bread, pasta and other dishes. It is another product with strict quality control and full of rules to be certified. To book a visit to one of the factories of the consortium responsible for the factories, access here!
