Gastronomic September 2020

Telling the identity of Parma and its territory through the kitchen.

From August 30 to September 27 the events of "Gastronomic September" return. The collaboration between institutions, companies, restaurateurs and trade associations made it possible, in compliance with health regulations and provisions, with a program of events spread both throughout the Parma area and through webinars.

This year, three dinners will go to support Emporio Solidale Parma, which, following the Covid-19 emergency, helps 1,300 families every day.  And as a sign of solidarity, there will also be twinning in the kitchen with the cities of Bergamo and Genoa.

As in every edition, the protagonists of the "Gastronomic September" program are the supply chains that have contributed to making Parma both the capital of the Food Valley and the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy: those of anchovies (to which we belong), those of DOP Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma, that of pasta, tomato and milk.

Each week of September will be dedicated to a representative supply chain of the Parma Food Valley:
- that of tomatoes from 30 August to 5 September;
- that of Prosciutto di Parma PDO from 6 to 12 September;
- that of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP and milk from 13 to 19 September;
- that of anchovies and pasta from 20 to 27 September.

In addition, for the whole month of September, tourists arriving in Parma (UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy and Italian Capital of Culture 2020 + 21) will receive a free "Tasty Box - The Flavors of the Food Valley", with all the symbolic products of the Parma Food Valley, among which there will also be our #aperitips anchovy fillets. To obtain it, it will be sufficient to stay in one of the accommodation facilities in the city, for a period that includes at least the night of Saturday.
