They have... * Dry-aged steaks just waiting for you to indulge. * A huge assortment of preserved slice-able meats waiting for you to ask for a serving. * Seasoned and prepared meats for those unwilling to do it themselves. * More cheese varieties than I know what to do with. I decided picking randomly was the correct approach. It worked! * Fresh vegetarian pasta to break up the potential meat monotony. They were more than patient with my poor Italian pronunciation and let me pick out a few items to enjoy. I don't think tourists normally go here because most tourists stay at a hotel and can't enjoy a fresh self-prepared meal. I, on the other hand, have an apartment with a kitchen and we stocked up for a week of late night snacks!

The facade alone is worth a visit. Inside you'll find dozens of hanging Parma ham legs, plentiful cheese, local honeys, jams, pickled veggies and so on. You could build out a really nice gift basket or Parma round up from this one stop. Try the cheese when they offer a generous sample! Note that like many other bizs in Parma, they close for a few hours in the afternoon. Traveling with your meat/cheese? They'll graciously vacuum pack your purchases for save travels! Enjoy an extra sample on my behalf when you stop in!
