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!
