The Park of Tastes...
A Park covering a small section of the Province of Parma and including part of the town outskirts is without a doubt a Park offering not only delicious, but also famous cheese and cold cuts. As a matter of fact, here Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and a wide range of cold cuts and sausages are produced: the famous Parma raw ham and coppa, San Secondo shoulder ham, and strolghino. However, along the banks of the river Taro, climate and soil also favor the cultivation of vegetables, among which a particular onion variety, the so-called Dorata di Parma: big, with a golden yellow color and a strong and intense taste.
