Prosciutto di Parma Festival
23/08/04
The seventh edition of the Prosciutto di Parma Festival will be held from Friday, September 3rd to Sunday, September 5th. The king of hams opens its doors allowing connoisseurs to explore the secrets of the "sweetest" prosciutto. The heart of the festival is, as always, the event called "Finestre aperte” (open windows) which will cover the entire production areas (Langhirano, Lesignano de’ Bagni, Sala Baganza, Tizzano Val Parma, Palanzano, Corniglio Traversetolo, Montechiarugolo, Neviano degli Arduini, Collecchio, Felino and Calestano). The Prosciutto di Parma production companies taking part in “Finestre Aperte” will organize guided tours and tasting sessions to demonstrate the different production phases of Prosciutto di Parma and to tell their guests an ancient story made up of magic and well-kept secrets passed from one generation to the next up till today. In the main towns of the festival, there will also be many “Prosciutto houses” real open- air restaurants where it will be possible to taste not only Prosciutto di Parma, but also other specialties of the Emilian cuisine, accompanied naturally by the D.O.C. wines from the "Colli di Parma", the Parma hills. One of the most interesting initiatives of this 7th edition is the cycle of “Officine del Gusto” (Tasting workshops), a journey proposing to guide the festival guests into the discovery of the different parts, and consequently, tastes of Prosciutto di Parma, as well as different combinations with the right breads and wines. The festival also represents an opportunity to visit the Prosciutto Museum in Langhirano inaugurated this past May 2nd. A unique occasion to live a few moments in the atmosphere of the ancient places where Prosciutto di Parma was produced so to understand the secrets of its creation. Among the other programmed events we would also like to point out a meeting on Safety and Quality held by the Istituto Parma Qualità, ( 5th September) the certifying body for Prosciutto di Parma.
