This is definitely the food tour you cannot miss! Have you already discovered the nicknames of Bologna? The "Red", The "Learned" and, finally the "Fat". Good. Let's dive into the true meaning of the third one: "Bologna the Fat", for its rich and caloric gastronomy handed down over the centuries. Before becoming a licensed tour guide I was the owner of a wine shop in town and I worked for several years in the food sector. Bologna is simply the capital of Italian and probably European food. Food, wine and culture are mixed together in a unique tradition, rich in experience and know-how. You can find it in some of the products that the whole world envies us. From this area comes the Parmigiano Reggiano, the mortadella, the Prosciutto and the Balsamic vinegar. Through several tastings, about ten, including cheese, some kind of breads, salami and other cured meat, chocolate and the artisanal gelato, we will discover the highest quality of our food tradition.
In this walking tour we will try and discover something really peculiar of our food tradition: - The day begins with a croissant and a cup of coffee or, if in the afternoon, we can try a Tigella, stuffed with local mortadella, our typical cured meat. -Going towards Mercato Delle Erbe, one of the best food markets in town, we'll try different aging of Parmigiano-Reggiano, the king of cheeses. -Still talking about "flour" we will discover how the real Sfogline transform it into pasta, only by hands, -We will taste the real Ragù: the Bolognese sauce, hot and just cooked in another market area, the so-called "Quadrilatero" -A glass of wine in what is considered the oldest tavern in Europe, trying some more bread, cold cuts and cheeses. -We will complete with a tasting of chocolate or a craft made ice cream. Are you still hungry? I don't think so, anyway I can suggest some good Trattoria nearby!
