Italian Cuisine is UNESCO intangible heritage of humanity
Italian Cuisine has been recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
You can start learning about it from where it takes shape every day: Emilia-Romagna, the Food Valley of Italy.
Here, food culture is part of everyday life: historic markets, artisan workshops, recipes handed down from generation to generation, and convivial tables where you can taste some of the world's most famous gastronomic symbols.
There are 44 PDO and PGI products that dot the area and turn every stop along the Via Emilia into an authentic taste experience: from Parmigiano Reggiano to Prosciutto di Parma, from Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena to local cured meats and wines.
A journey of flavors, stories and people awaits you along the Via Emilia: all you have to do is set off.
