We loved Modena and felt it was a "hidden gem" of an Italian city. It is a great place for car lovers as well, with Ferrari, Maserati, and Ducati factories right there. Don't forget Osteria Guisti, an amazing restaurant (reservations a must, and they are booked months in advance.)
Dear Alyssa, thanks for sharing your experience in Modena. As an Italian cheese lover I'm crazy about Parmigiano Reggiano. I love both the 24 month and the 30 month old ones and normally I find the younger version preferable in Summer and the older one in Winter, but that's a matter of personal taste. The 36 month old one is a bit too strong but is also worth to try. Ciao from Torino
Not been to Modena, but the Balsamic Vinegar is legendary, so it is definitely on my radar! Thank you for sharing. Also, I think Polenta is a bit overrated too. 😅
Loved the video! Don’t say your mother daughter tour is over so soon! 😊 As a child I did not like polenta but as I got older and dressed it up with tomato sauce, sausage, ribs and brocoletti with a sprinkling of grated parmigiano or grana padano it’s absolutely delicious!! Also you need to try polenta sticks they are basically fried polenta with a aioli sauce or marinara sauce 👌👌
I see your hold-up about the loosen texture (is that right?) of the Polenta but....devi capire che la polenta per essere buona deve essere mangiata con le salsiccie/funghi etc cio che e insieme non da sola, credo! ahahahhahhaah if you know what I mean....
