La Prosciutteria Silvano Romani hangs the province's salumi over its Farini counter in Parma, slicing prosciutto and culatello for shipping-ready boxes.
Tip: They vacuum-pack for flights and ship within Europe; taste at sister venue Degusteria Romani before committing to whole pieces.

Salumeria Garibaldi stocks Parmigiano Reggiano aged to 100 months and hand-tied culatello on Strada Garibaldi, Parma grocery-shopping at its most serious.
Tip: The extreme-aged Parmigiano wheels are the draw; ask to taste the 60-month against the 100-month before choosing.
