We learnt a lot about the exquisite Umami flavour of both Parmigiano Reggiano P.D.O. and Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Moden P.D.O. at The Culinary Porject ‘Assi nella Manica’ launch at Brand Exchange, a members' club in the City of London, back in March. Charles Michel taught us why exactly these products are The Perfect Italian Pair.
