The great houses of Parma Ham reveal their secrets to consumers during the 14th Parma Ham Festival, when they will open their doors to the public.
Free visits will be organised to the ham factories of the municipalities involved, also by shuttle buses departing from the Fiere di Parma, from the 9-18 September, to discover how Parma Ham is born.
Parma Ham is a wholly natural product, (its only ingredients are pork and salt), and a product of certified origin. Its success derives entirely from the expertise of its salt masters, from the fragrant air of the Parma hills and in the time-consuming, painstaking process of curing.
The Hams are not smoked and no chemicals, preservatives or other additives are used.
From 9 to 18 September our producers are celebrating and will proudly take fans of the sweetest ham in Italy on a journey to discover the secret of how it is made!
