DOP : Denominazione di Origine Protetta
The Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
The Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan cheese) is made according to a very strict production method. It can only be manufactured in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Bologna. Parmigiano Reggiano obtained the DOP label in 1996, but traces of its manufacture can be found in 13th century monasteries. The cows are treated in the morning and in the evening. The evening milk spends the night in cauldrons to separate the cream from the milk. The next morning, it is mixed with the one of the morning, before being heated and brewed until obtaining the good consistency.
Parma ham
It has a minimum ripening of 18 months. It is a ham on the bone, which allows it to keep a unique flavour. It is savoured in very thin slices ! Riccardo attended a specific training in Parma to learn how to debone it, and debones one for you in a video :
Our wines
We select our wines according to a certain philosophy of production. We supply from small and medium producers to give you an overview of the vast grape varieties and Italian appellations. We orient our selections also in correlation with our origins. Indeed, we are from Piedmont, which offers a very interesting choice of fine grape varieties, complex, structured, noble and destined to age and evolve over time (Barolo, Barbaresco).

Balsamic vinegar
It is made strictly with selected grape musts and without the addition of caramel or other artificial flavors. The range ranges from 6 to over 12 years of age for traditional Modena vinegar. The real balsamic vinegar is the traditional, the one that ages the longest from grape must without adding vinegar. It is produced with a strictly regional grape. Others receive a percentage of classic vinegar and age less.
Olive oil from Liguria
Taggiasche olives are a specialty of Liguria, from the province of Imperia. These olives are small, but fleshy with an intense taste. Thus, the extra-virgin olive oil that is produced with these olives is considered one of the best oils of Italy. Indeed, with its very delicate flavor and very low acidity, it can be used on very fine dishes.
Puglia olive oil
