Author Notes
Step inside Fontana, the best wine bar in Parma (Italy) and you're sure to find a selection of panini—sandwiches that are filled with delicious combinations of salumi, meats, cheeses, vegetables, a big selection of sauces of course and grilled to crisp perfection. It's my favorite place in Parma to have a drink before dinner and eating something or it's perfect for my break lunch! The best sellers of this enoteca are:
- prinicipe al crudo: raw parma ham and parmesan cheese paired with bread
- prinicipe al culatello: culatello and parmesan cheese paired with bread
- panino with roastbeaf and rocket
- panino with mortadella and gorgonzola cheese
- panino with spalla cotta and red chicory sauce
These grilled sandwiches prove that even the simplest foods can be sublime.
Now I try to give you all secrets of sandwiches of this amazing house of great pleasure for our all palates!!!
I'll star with the principe al crudo:
raw Parma ham between 2 slices of white bread or salt focaccia or integral bread, combines with PARMESAN cheese in the finest Italian tradition. —mvloves
