Parmesan vs. Parmigiano Reggiano

That is, American Parmesan has been ruined for me forever. That is because Parmigiano Reggiano in Italy is something entirely different than American Parmesan cheese. I mean, the cheese we get from Sam’s Club is pretty good, but it’s definitely an imitation of the stuff we’ve eaten here in the northern part of Italy.

Bergamo to Venice: Our Guide and Day in Venice

Venice… ah Venice… the city of love, canals, and funny smells. Venice was nice. It is definitely a place everyone should see. We’re glad we went, and we enjoyed the time there. But to be honest, Venice and the Venetian experience felt a bit hyped and overrated at times. We’re in Venice during a relatively low time of the year for tourism. However, Venice is still overrun with people taking pictures of things.
