Factory Salumificio La Perla
Langhirano, Emilia-Romagna
Salumificio La Perla, run by the Lanfranchi family for more than thirty years, stands on a hill overlooking the Parma stream, in the heart of the Langhirano area where PDO Prosciutto di Parma is made. Alongside prosciutto, production includes Salame di Felino, culatello, spalla fiocco and coppa di Parma, made following the area's country traditions. The guided visit to the plant traces the stages of processing the pork legs and ends in a 150-seat tasting room, where visitors sample the cured meats alongside Parmigiano Reggiano and wines from the Parma hills.
