2 Small artisanal producers, Great Italian quality. All of Italy is celebrated for its ancient culinary tradition and dozens of its typical products are famous the world over. The region which best represents the Italian gastronomic heritage is the Emilia Romagna which, thanks to the high number of renowned specialties, has earned the nickname the Italian Food Valley. What makes the region so unique is that it is made up of a myriad of small producers which over time stood out for the quality of their products, quality that comes from the ideal combination of provenance, raw material of the highest levels and traditional processing methods. Typical Emilian products like cured meats, wine and cheese are still made the artisanal way, respecting the land and timeless tradition, because it s the only way to keep their uniqueness and quality unaltered. In order to raise awareness of these products all over the world and offer consumers solid quality guarantees, consortia have formed over the years which on the one hand gather together the producers and help them to improve the marketing of their products, but also establish strict rules and regulations everyone concerned must abide by. These regulations establish standards which must apply throughout the production process, from setting the borders of the zones of provenance to the organoleptic qualities of the final products, i.e., what it tastes and smells like. Only producers who have been deemed worthy with regards to all parameters may bear the consortium s seal or trademark on their product and become a part of Europe s excellence in food products.

3 MATURATION months SIZE 7-9 kg Addobbo/Pressato: vacuum 8-10 C Prosciutto di Parma Parma Ham, is made from exclusively italian pig s ham (hind leg); only selected breedings provide the highest quality of pigs that are chosen for this ham. Once prepared the classic ham leg shape, the flesh is salted and the leg is hung into aging chambers, where it remains for at least 12 months. Meat and salt are the only two ingredients used for this product. No preservatives or additives are used: that s the reason why the ham is natural, tasty and with a unique flavour. To these simple two ingredients it is added the skill of salting and the dry and delicate air coming from the surrounding hills of Parma. It owes much to the unique geography of Parma region which ensure constant gentle breezes coming across the hills. Its production is tightly regulated to ensure the highest level of quality, and it is protected by the Parma Ham Consortium: the producers must follow the stages of the process according to a precise protocol in a full respect of tradition. After sumbitting the ham to a careful examination, the Consortium brands (to fire) the symbol of the Ducal Crown on the Ham: this Symbol - a five-pointed crown - marks the Prosciutto di Parma from imitations and provides assurance to the consumer of absolute excellence and authenticity of the product. Prosciutto di Parma has long history: probably it has been influenced by the presence on saline springs in the Parma area. Since Roman times, the production areas were famous for the breeding of pigs and for the production of hams; Cato gives testimony in his book De Agricolture in the II century B.C.. Even Polybius, Strabo and Horace, while relating the celebrations for the arrival in Parma of Hannibal in 217 B.C. describe offerings of the hind of legs of the pork preserved in salt. 4 5

4 Prosciutto di Parma Addobbo 10 good reasons to eat Parma Ham Addobbo (Boned) prosciutto (ham) is tied by hand and ideal for the more refined client who wants a broad, perfect, round slice. Prosciutto di Parma Pressato The ingredients are only two: the flesh of the hind leg of the pig (born and raised in Italy) and salt. It s a food suitable for everyone: children, adolescents, the elderly, athletes and all those who must comply with a reduced-calorie diet. It s a tasty appetizer, a food to be used in snacks, but is primarily a second full plate, light, but with a high nutritional value. The fat of the meat enhances the flavour and the sweetness of the lean part and is at the same time low in cholesterol and high in unsaturated fat. It s a product rich in proteins: notice that the aging process make proteins more digestible. Parma Ham is rich in amino-acids that are recommended to those people who practise sports. It is also rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron and zinc. The amount of cholesterol contained in Prosciutto di Parma is comparable to that contained in the meat of adult cattle, beef, chicken or rabbit. 100 grams of ham contain 155kcal: a plate of pasta with tomato sauce contains 440kcal, while a beef steak contains 198kcal, 210kcal an omelette, roast turkey in 202kcal. It is the perfect food! 10 It s a simple food, natural, genuine, but most importantly, it is healthy. Pressato (Pressed) prosciutto (ham) is the ideal product for anyone who wants a traditional prosciutto that is easy to slice. It has the PDO (protected designation of origin) designation: it is recognized by the European Economic Community and the product is guaranteed by the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry. 6 7

It is a product made only from Italian pork hams that have been treated with sea-salt, without any other additives or preservatives. When sliced, the meat is red-pink with very white veins of fat. It is sweet and delicate and bears a characteristic aroma it acquired during natural ageing. PRODUCTION The ingredients used to make raw ham is pork ham, salt and time. After having been carefully selected, the hams are massaged for a long time with sea salt and then left to rest for a few days. They are then washed, brushed, dried and checked over for any defects that may have gone unnoticed during previous checks They are then left to season for no less than 12 months inside special drying chambers that give the ham the very special taste and aroma that has made it so famous all over the world. During the ageing process, the ham undergoes sugnatura, that is, a special process where the muscular parts of the ham are covered with a mixture of lard, salt and pepper so that it doesn t dry out too quickly. Fiocchetto Stagionato PRODUCT Seasoned Fiochetto is a typical cured meat found in the area of Parma and is made using the same pork thigh used for Prosciutto di Parma. It is made only with lean meats from the Pianura Padana which, after very careful selection, are hand processed. Long ageing times give the product a very intense aroma, a nice sweet flavour and a delicate persistence that is very pleasing to the palate. PRODUCTION Fiocchetto is made only with the leanest part of the pork ham which, after being salted and spiced by hand, is stuffed and tied. It is then aged for six or seven months in natural chambers where perfect levels of humidity give it its remarkable aroma. 8 9

This meat is processed in accordance with our traditions, flavoured and then stuffed into a natural casing. It requires a curing period which ranges from a minimum of 60 to a maximum of 90 days. Once cut, the meat of the product shows a uniform colour, but red in the lean and rosy in the fat. To eat it is necessary to cut it into thin slices, it should be used a special slicer to cut it. The slice is particularly soft, the flavour is tasty and with a particular fragrance that characterizes the product. Coppa di Parma is produced in the province of Parma and other neighbouring countries. The meat comes from a herd of selected pigs. Coppa di Parma is deeply rooted in the ancient history of farming in the area of Parma: since 1700 is produced and consumed as a typical product of Parma. PRODUCTION The pork meat is selected and cleaned of the fat to obtain a regular shape similar to a cylinder but with one end smaller than the other. The length is about inches and the weight is at least 2 kg. The meat is prepared with salt and natural flavourings and placed in cold storage for 10 days at an average temperature of about 4 degrees and humidity-controlled. After a further process of salting, the meat is placed into a natural bovine casing, tied with strings and left to age for at least 2 months. PRODUCT AND HISTORY Salami is not one specific sausage: it is a generic term describing any type of encased meat product. Salame di Felino is the noble member of the large family of Italian salami and is a typical product of the territory of Felino, a small town near Parma. The most ancient history are the origins of this delicious salami: a representation of the most dated Salame di Felino presented in the interior decoration of the Baptistery of Parma ( ): in the illustration dedicated to Aquarium appear two salami on both sides of a pot. Since the beginning of 1800, culinary chronicles signalled in the territory of the country of Felino a particular way and uncommon transformation of pork sausage. And, finally, in 1905, the term Salame di Felino entered the dictionary of the Italian language. Salame di Felino has been given the PGI designation (Protected Geographical Indication): for its production are used prime fresh meat from pigs reared in the hills of Parma and surrounding areas, and are made using traditional methods in their geographical region. PRODUCTION The minced meat is seasoned with salt and other flavours: some preservatives are used, but only in amount allowed by food purity laws. Once the meat, salt and flavours are blended, they are packed in natural casings and subjected to curing. Salami is aged at least for three months in the same climatic conditions that create the world famous Prosciutto di Parma. Dry-cured Salame di Felino (often seen hanging in markets and butcher shops) is recognized for its uneven shape and is ready to eat once sliced

7 MATURATION 2-3 months SIZE 4 kg Full: cardboard Portioned: vacuum Full: max 17 C Portioned: 8-10 C SIZE 14 kg Full: cardboard Portioned: vacuum Full: max 17 C Portioned: 8-10 C Pancetta di Parma PRODUCT AND PLACES Pancetta (Italian bacon) is one of the most fragrant and fat product: it comes from the belly of the pig and is presented in layers of different sizes depending on the size of the pig. Pancetta is made with selected pork meat: it is top quality and is knead in artisan workshops of the province of Parma. The production of Pancetta dates back to Roman times: the existence and the use of bacon/ pancetta in the traditional cuisine of Parma is attested by documents written in the XVI century. Pancetta is often known outside of Italy as Italian Bacon, however it is not an accurate description. They look quite similar: both have pink meat with layers of white fat and they both originate from the belly portion of the pork. But that is where the similarities stop since unlike bacon, Pancetta is not smoked, but cured, and - also - layers are often rolled up. PRODUCTION The meat used for the bacon is excellent, and just salted and spiced by hand. The layers of bacon are left to rest for few days so that they can absorb in a natural way the salt and the spices used in the manufacture of the product. Subsequently, the sheets are rolled up on themselves in order to obtain a cylindrical shape. This is a very delicate and important process, because during the last stage of rolling it up, there should not remain gaps or air bubbles between the sheets of meat. Then the product is hand-tied with a rope, hung and aged in the cellars of the production plants. The exceptional quality of this product is guaranteed by a curing at low temperature and by a specific degree of humidity. The recipe for the Bacon is the traditional one: simple, with only the addition of salt and pepper and a long curing period. PRODUCT Mortadella IGP (or Protected Designation of Origin) from Bologna is a cured meat made by blending pure pork and lard that have been finely ground and to which salt, peppercorns, pistachios and other flavours like aromatic herbs and spices are added. Only the best cuts of select pork are used to make it and this ensures that its fat content remains low. It comes in a large characteristic roll and has a uniform pink colour when sliced. The aroma it imparts is slightly spicy and unmistakeable, while its flavour is full and well-balanced. Mortadella is a product typical of the Bologna region where the tradition of grinding pork meat with spices and salt dates back to the Roman Era. The production zone of mortadella is vast and extends beyond the borders of Emilia Romagna, including many other areas of central and northern Italy. Mortadella Bologna PRODUCTION Bologna mortadella is made applying techniques unlike any in the world. The basis is pork that has been very carefully selected in compliance with European Protected Designation of Origin regulations. This meat is finely ground and made into a very fine substance to which small cubes of lard, salt, peppercorns, natural spices and pistachios are added. The mixture is then stuffed into natural or synthetic casing and very delicately cooked over a long period of time. The product is placed in dry-air ovens set to 70 C and, when done, very quickly cooled at 10 C. This temperature-controlled cooking process gives mortadella its characteristic aroma and softness whilst maintaining its precious proteins and vitamins

8 MATURATION months SIZE 40 kg Full: cardboard Portioned: vacuum Full: max 17 C Portioned: 4-8 C Parmigiano Reggiano ORIGIN AND PRODUCT Parmigiano Reggiano (or Parma cheese from Reggio Emilia) dates to the Middle Ages and most historians set the date at about the XII century. It was then that the Benedictine and Cistercian monks of Parma di Reggio Emilia began to make a hard cheese by warming their milk in large tubs. Parmigiano Reggiano is still made with the same ingredients as nine centuries ago, in the same places and using the same methods. The product and its region are inexorably linked and this is why Parmigiano Reggiano can only be made in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and parts of the provinces of Mantova and Bologna. Parmigiano Reggiano is made with milk from local cows, natural rennet, salt and nothing else. It is, therefore, a 100% natural product rich in vitamins, protein and minerals. Its organoleptic characteristics vary depending on how long it has been left to age but the cheese does have a characteristic light yellow colour, is quite elastic and has an intense aroma that remains delicate even after thirty months of ageing. Both in Italy and the rest of the world, its extraordinary quality is guaranteed by the Consortium. PRODUCTION Parmigiano Reggiano is made only with the milk from highly selected cows that eat only local grasses and hay. Veal rennet and whey, two entirely natural products, are then added and the mixture is warmed for about 50 minutes in bell-shaped copper cauldrons. The curd mass that forms is extracted from the cauldron with a large muslin sheet and put into the round forms that eventually give the cheese its perfect dimensions and characteristic look. The form is then lowered into a tub of salt water that naturally extracts the excess water and lets it absorb a small amount of salt. The cheese is then left to age for at least 12 months inside special ageing cellars
