Cooking lab on Norcineria with lunch & Perugia guided tour
Overview
Today we will come into contact with an Umbrian tradition: butchery. That of the pork butcher is a very ancient profession, and Umbria, in particular, has managed to make it a real culinary art renowned since Roman times. Our chef will talk about the anatomy of the pig, the different types of cuts and will teach us all the secrets of this culinary tradition: from the basic techniques to the processing of the meat, up to the salting and maturing stages, and the making of sausages. At the end, we'll enjoy a well-deserved lunch with the results of our work and other typical Umbrian products!
Perugia, a lovely city with numerous monuments and places of interest: we'll start from the underground Perugia under the Rocca Paolina to learn the details of the ancient city, then we'll stroll along Corso Vannucci, the main street of the historic center and the place where the main events take place, with all the buildings and monuments of greatest historical, artistic, and architectural interest.

What To Expect
That of the norcino, is an ancient craft, and Umbria, in particular, has managed to make it a real culinary art renowned since Roman times. We will have a guided visit to a prestigious farm near Assisi, and there we will learn the secrets of this culinary tradition: the anatomy of the pig, the basic techniques of cutting the pig, processing
of meat up to the production of sausages, preservation, salting, and aging of meat. At the end of the lab, we will have a well-deserved lunch with the results of our work accompanied by other Umbrian typical products!
After lunch, we'll reach Perugia for an interesting guided tour. Perugia is worth visiting not only for the beauty of its hilltop setting, but also for its fine old buildings. Before it came under Roman rule, it was one of the 12 cities of the Etruscan federation, and considerable sections of the Etruscan walls have been preserved. Perugia is
known to the art world as the center of the Umbrian School of Painting in the 15th and 16th centuries and its leading members, Perugino and Pinturicchio, worked here. The young Raphael worked in Perugino's studio until 1504. You'll find their works in Perugia's churches and public buildings.
