Banchini Cioccolato is famous for their chocolate and their gelato was as good. Creamy, rich and great flavour. The trouble is always what to pick as all the flavours are good.

The facade alone is worth a visit. Inside you'll find dozens of hanging Parma ham legs, plentiful cheese, local honeys, jams, pickled veggies and so on. You could build out a really nice gift basket or Parma round up from this one stop. Try the cheese when they offer a generous sample!

Enjoy an extra sample on my behalf when you stop in!
