CIBUS

Parma Ham on display at Cibus

The curtain opens on the sixteenth Cibus International Food Fair that will be held in Parma from Monday 7 to Thursday 10 May. This year too, Parma Ham is among the protagonists of the event that celebrates the Italian agri-food scene of excellence.

The Parma Ham Consortium’s stand is in Pavilion 2 - I 026, open to all Italian agricultural and food companies, Italian and foreign large-scale retail trade buyers, the “eating-out” world, operators and importers, universities and study institutes and the national and foreign press.

This year, the Consortium is using the collaboration of some important partners that will animate the area dedicated to the King of Hams with numerous initiatives throughout the fair: the Scuola Alberghiera e di Ristorazione Serramazzoni (hotel management and catering school of Serramazzoni), the culinary magazine Informacibo, the Consorzio di tutela dei vini dei Colli di Parma (consortium for the protection of the wines of the Parma hills), the Enoteca Regionale Emilia-Romagna (regional wine cellar of Emilia-Romagna).

Each day, a “bread” of the Emilia-Romagna region will be presented at the 2012 fair – Micca di Parma, Tigella, Piadina romagnola, Coppia ferrarese – that will accompany the preparation of a Parma Ham based recipe by the chefs of the Istituto Alberghiero di Serramazzoni (hotel management institute of Serramazzoni). Every day, it will in any case be possible to taste Parma Ham partnered with the wines of the Consorzio dei Vini dei Colli di Parma (consortium of the wines of the Parma hills).
The morning of 8 May, starting at 11:00, will be dedicated to the press with the presentation of the new Consortium site; on 9 May, starting at the same time, the Consortium’s stand will be a backdrop to the launch of the 15th Parma Ham Festival, the festivities that will animate the weekends of September in all the municipalities of the traditional area of production.
For two consecutive days, on 7 and 8 May, at 15:30 an exceptional preview will take place of the third "Il Gelato nel Piatto” (ice-cream on a plate) promoted by the on-line magazine INformaCIBO. The great chefs - Alberto Rossetti of the Al Tramezzo restaurant in Parma and Beatrice Petrini of the Aquila Romana restaurant in Noceto - will skilfully combine Parma Ham and other products of excellence to offer Cibus visitors a choice delicacy with a dolce&salato (sweet&savoury) dish.

Many other activities besides will take place at the Parma Ham Consortium’s stand in Pavilion 2 - I 026.

We look forward to seeing you at Cibus!
