Today gourmet tour with Ilaria-Ilaria likes to drive at 145K taking both hands off the wheel and talking on her mobile-1st stop the Parmagiano Reggiano factory-what a friend we have in cheeses-watching birth of a round of cheese-then to Langhirano to the Parma ham factory-pig needs to be between 150 and 200Kg--I am rapidly approaching weight myself-each ham is tested by the insertion of the special horse bone into the 5 specified areas-ham, salami and tortelloni for lunch-then to Modena for tour of Balsamic vinegar-we are allowed 4 drops of the 25 year old-a true revelation=is good on ice-cream(sic)-back to Bologna for dinner and then best gelato in the world!
