Please note that ALL PROCEEDS from this event will go to CCR's sponsored charity for the 2012-2013 season, the Lieutenant Governor’s Aboriginal Summer Reading Camps.
Stefano Paciotti, of renowned Salumeria Paciotti, will be guiding us through the tasting of Prosciutto di Parma DOP Riserva as he hand-slices this famed cured meat. Only the largest pork thighs from the original area can be used to make this DOP (Denominazione d'origine protetta) product. It is then cured following a codified aging process of at least 18 monts in the humid air of the hills near Parma, giving the meat its tender, compact texture. Stefano will then introduce us to Salame di Felino, a pure pork salame from Felino, a small town located in the green Baganza valley, also near Parma, and to Canestrato di Pienza cheese, made from pure sheep's milk near Siena in Tuscany.
Have you received a gorgeous gift that just doesn't fit your home décor? Have duplicate items at home? Switched from gold to silver jewellery? Want to de-clutter? Instead of re-gifting or having it take up precious space, let us auction it off so that it can become someone else's treasure or signature piece! And thereby contribute to our charity!
