134. Culinary Paradise in Parma

Author: Kimberly Holcombe February 7, 2024 Duration: 29:03
Tommaso’s first time in the Italian city of Parma was basically Prosciutto Paradiso! The city’s historic center is very charming, colorful, clean and full of well dressed, and well-fed Italians. We entered every salumeria, cheese shop and combinations of the two, all of which made us both want to live in this sweet little city.  The historic center is brimming with all kinds of culinary goods, but the Parma ham takes center stage. Who knew there are so many types of Prosciutto each with it’s own name and DOP label. The locals seem to take great pride in their city’s moniker of Citta di Gastronomia / The City of Gastronomy.
