Emiligia Romagna

Our friend Evan is visiting this week, so today we took a whirlwind food tour of the region of Emiligia Romagna.  We started in Parma and sampled some delicious parmeggiano reggiano cheese:



And of course, prosciutto di Parma:


Also, oranges are now in season in Italy!



After shopping all morning, we were ready for some lunch.  We went to Trattoria Corrieri for some amazing home-made pasta (see my blog on Parma).

On the way home from Parma, we stopped in Modena, which is known for the best balsamic vinagrette in Italy.  At a local enoteca, we learned a little about the aging process of balsamico and the owner allowed us to sample some!   


Modena has some beautiful churches as well- I was too busy searching for food to explore them, so I will have to go back at some point.


At the end of the day we came back, exhausted but satisfied, and were able to sample our souvenirs!
