Mountains Rich in Ancient Tastes

Such a beautiful territory could not be poor in unique and intense tastes. The relationship between nature and products is the result of a millenary history, a non-stop interdependence which on the one side has shaped the main features of the current landscape and on the other side has led to the production of genuine food with unmistakable tastes. Therefore, here you will find both natural beauties and quality products: the Park territory, combining its natural richness with human skills, has led to the creation of unique and matchless agri-foodstuffs, known and appreciated all over the world.
PDO Parma Raw Ham and PDO Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese are the real local delicacies, whose success depends on the local genuine and natural raw materials guaranteed by strict production specifications, the competence of professional workers, and the efficient safeguard and enhancement rules established by the respective Consortiums. Besides these famous products, the territory also boasts further precious local products and an authentic gastronomic tradition, both based on the most genuine local "ingredients" (berries, herbs, potatoes, mushrooms, chestnuts, game...).
