Italy has always been considered the cradle of good food. Indeed, our products are appreciated worldwide as they stand our for their very high quality and unique taste. In this context, Parma deserves a special mention: considered the capital of Food Valley, its province boasts the largest number of products recognized for their high quality. The name of this city is immediately associated with the famous Parmigiano Reggiano (the "king of cheeses"), Parma ham and the supreme Culatello di Zibello.

The real and authentic Italian specialties are only available in local shops. However, ParmaShop, thanks to its close collaboration with local companies, gives you the opportunity to buy the different local specialties from home.

Among these delicacies you will find:

• Pasta: the shop offers tortiglioni, the famous Roman pasta characterized by the stripes on the external surface and by the important diameter.Tortiglioni are porous both externally and internally and this characteristic makes them perfect to combine with sauces. Are you looking for a healthy and light pasta that is tasty at the same time? Try the organic pappardelle made of durum wheat semolina or spaghetti with a good tomato sauce. A simple but extremely genuine and traditional tasty dish.

• Sauces: on ParmaShop you can find sauces from important Italian companies. Do you remember Ortolina? Certainly your grandmother had it in her pantry! This is the first Italian ready-to-use sauce made with natural ingredients such as tomato, fresh vegetables and olive oil. Otherwise, if you are looking for something more elaborate, traditional sauces such as the Arrabiata, Amatriciana and Bolognese sauces are also available.

• Anchovies: you probably know the famous anchovies Rizzoli. The shop offers them in the historical version in the golden can: try them on a bruschetta with some drops of olive oil.

• Amaretti del Chiostro di Saronno: this biscuit which comes from Lombardia is loved by everyone, young and old, for the amaretto’s softness and natural taste. Enjoy them at the end of dinner, accompanied by a fortified wine.
