Visit to Prosciuttificio and Tasting of Prosciutto di Parma
Live a unique experience inside the Ham Factory!
Discover the secrets behind the processing of Parma Ham.
After a brief introduction on historical background by the guide, the gastronomic tour begins with the cold phase, where fresh meat is processed.
It is then explained how the best meats are chosen for Parma ham processing.
Following this, it is possible to see the machinery used for salting and the refrigeration cells.
Then we move on to the hot phase, with a visit to the curing rooms, characterized by the typical scents of the ham.
During curing, the "tapping" that leads to branding by the Consortium with the famous "crown" of Parma ham will be explained.
At the end of the visit there will be a tasting of Parma ham aged 24 months, accompanied by homemade bread and sparkling wine from the Parma hills.
The Parma Ham Experience includes:
- Entering the Plant
- Expert guide
- Tasting of prosciutto accompanied by homemade bread and sparkling wine from the Parma hills.
- Transfer A/R from the Structure or Station in Parma
The Tour is ideal for a maximum of 8 participants.
Parma Ham is a good, healthy and genuine product.
No preservatives or additives have always been used, and the result is a tasty and completely natural product.
Two other ingredients are added to the pork leg and salt: the weather and the dry, delicate wind of the fragrant Parma hills.
The uniqueness of this area-an extremely limited area in the province of Parma -is precisely that it has the ideal climatic conditions for natural curing, which will give that unmistakable sweetness and taste to Parma Ham.
The Activity will last about 3 hours.
