A few weeks ago, we flew off to a gourmet’s paradise: the Parma region, to discover Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma Ham. The trip took us behind the scenes of the production of these two luxury products that delight our taste buds. <\/p>\n

To get to this magnificent region and bourgeois town of Parma, you’ll have to travel to Milan, Italy’s cultural and economic powerhouse. Parma is just over an hour’s drive away. <\/p>\n

Parma is a city haunted by its history, its illustrious kings, queens and emperors such as the Farneses, the Bourbons and Napoleon. This city, which has remained at the heart of all attention since the Middle Ages, is still today a wealthy, middle-class town. Parma owes this wealth to two treasures: Parmesan cheese and Parma ham. <\/p>\n

We begin our culinary journey in a renowned Parma trattoria called Cocchi <\/a>, where we taste local specialities to accompany the Parmesan and Ham.<\/p>\n

This is followed by a most instructive stroll through the city of Parma. We start at the Teatro del Reggio, where Italy’s most important operas have been performed for centuries, and the illustrious Palazzo Farnese, where the city’s naumachia (spectacular naval battles) and other famous events were held. We also stop off at Parma’s famous cathedral to see the dome by Corregio, master of the Renaissance and trompe l’oeil. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
