    3 different maturities of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, to appreciate the evolution of the cheese's aromatic notes, texture and crumbliness.

    Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, the black gold of Emilia, expertly paired with each level of ageing to enhance its contrasts and complex flavour and aroma profile.

    Next, sit back and get ready to enjoy an authentic Emilian banquet with the great classics of local cuisine.
