Here, the raw materials transform into exquisite cured meats through centuries-old methods. Beyond this prized ham, the municipality also contributes to Fortana del Taro IGT wines, a local varietal thriving in the same fertile plains. With 2 verified producers contributing to Italy's protected food and wine origins, San Secondo Parmense stands as a testament to truly local specialties.
