The conversation about traveling to Italy often revolves around a few major cities and popular destinations, like Tuscany and Cinque Terre. For food-obsessed travelers, though, Northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region should be at the top of the list.
This is where some of the most beloved foods in the world come from: Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar, lambrusco wines, tortellini and dozens of other signature foods. All in all, 44 of Emilia-Romanga’s products have earned protected status, which means that the products have been made in their original locations, using strict guidelines and controls.
