Hear the tales of the expert Guide and conclude with a delicious tasting of different ripenings. Then continue to a traditional ham factory. Discover every step of the Ham processing from the selection of meats to salting, up to the slow maturation that gives the product its unmistakable aroma.

Where this sits in Bologna

Bologna is about 8 min by road from Bologna Marconi Airport. The food capital, and it does not have to try. Porticoes for miles, a real university city rather than a museum piece, and Modena and Parma close enough for a day out.
