Mezza Luna

When speaking of the Emilia-Romagna region, the first thing that comes to mind is a beautiful plate of fine charcuteries with a second to none reputation! I have experienced this many times when my daughter lived in Modène. The charcuteries the most prestigious and well know is without doubt the prosciutto Langhirano, and that of Parmes, particularly Zibello; the Culatello. Here in Montreal it is possible to find the ’Ruliano’ brand. Another favourite is the Prosciutto cotto which I love with mustard or with vegetables marinated in oil or vinegar. This region is also very well known for the products such as mortadella, parmesan Reggiano and balsamic vinegar from Modène. Finally, but just as importantly, the homemade fresh pasta such as ravioli, cappelletti, tortellini, cannelloni, lasagna and the famous ‘’tortellini in brodo’’ and still much more!
