Itinerary
Join us for an unforgettable journey through Italy’s culinary heritage, where quality ingredients, traditional techniques, and a passion for perfection come together. Departing from Parma, we’ll head to a small, picturesque area with the perfect climate for curing Parma Ham. The dry, fragrant air from the Apennines creates ideal conditions for this centuries-old craft.
With a knowledgeable guide, explore the salt rooms, cold drying chambers, maturation cellars, and aging rooms. Learn about the ancient process of curing, dating back to Roman times. The word "prosciutto" (from Latin perexsuctum, meaning dried) reflects this slow, patient tradition.
Engage all your senses as you uncover the secrets of Prosciutto di Parma production. End the tour with a delicious tasting of Parma Ham, served with homemade bread and local wine from the Parma Hills.
