Romagna and Tuscany regions. Our goal is to stroll through Italy, staying as far away from the typical touristy sites. Our focus will be primarily culinary in nature. We will be in Parma, learning about how Parmagiano Reggiano cheese is made. A trip to Modena will prove educational as we tour a balsamic vinegar operation. Other excursions will include an afternoon with Dario, the infamous butcher that Mario Batali trained under, local harvesting of olives and grapes. A trip to the winery for some grape crushing will be a highlight, no doubt. We'll take in a few other culinary experiences. It is my goal to share these experiences with you here. Check back between October 5-14 to see what I have been up to.
