We are proud of our tradition. Indeed, Al Vèdel was established back in 1780, when ‘siora’ Cleofe decided to turn what had until then been a rustic cottage adjacent to a farmhouse into a food shop and restaurant. After this beginning, the history of Vèdel fully matches with that of the Bergonzi family, from Ernestino to the current owners Monica and Enrico, and with the passing of generations the trattoria’s fame has spread among Parma families and amongst lovers of good food who, today as in the past, can sit down in a warm and welcoming environment where flavours and aromas keep alive a story that began so long ago.
Le Vedole is an ancient land of cured meats, and Al Vèdel produces Culatello di Zibello DOP, the one which is protected by the Consorzio for the Protection of Culatello di Zibello. This would be sufficient to understand the quality of the products that come out of the trattoria’s ageing rooms, but we would also like to talk about the animals being chosen with extreme care, the daily checks on the new-born culatello, the first maturation in the south and the second in the north, and finally the cellar, which is visible, in which the walls and the floors are the same ones that ‘siora’ Cleofe used to see and the muddy clay soil still gives the precious humidity that makes the noblest part of the pig’s thigh such a highly prized product all over the world. The Culatellos are just hanging there, resting in the quiet awareness of their goodness, knowing that the right guest is about to enter to appreciate them. But they are not the only ones, in the kingdom of the pig. Al Vèdel offers pancetta, matured for at least two years, fiocco, salami, cicciolara and ciccioli.
