If you want to stay in a fairy tale, then the village of Bardi, is the right place for you! Dominated by the spectacular grandeur of its famous Castle, Bardi is a summer resort in a panoramic position, an ideal starting point for pleasant excursions in the tranquility of greenery. The majesty of the castle, the valleys that extend along the horizon, the tranquility that characterizes the village are fundamental ingredients for those who want to relax. Bardi is known for its fortress, built for more than a thousand years on a spur of red jasper, which overlooks the course of the river Ceno and depicts the testimony of its medieval past.

In the dairies of the valley only milk collected in the municipalities of Val Ceno is processed. The cheese produced with milk collected in the mountain area is part of the fine production of “Parmigiano Reggiano di Montagna”. The cheese acquires a strong but balanced taste that recalls floral and fruity notes of mountain pastures, to enrich every culinary creation.

Among the most exquisite dishes there are Tortelli stuffed with every ingredient: herb, potatoes, pumpkin and many others. Obviously seasoned with Mountain Parmigiano Reggiano, Black Truffle or mushroom sauce. These three mountain symbols are used to season many other dishes such as rice or gnocchi.
