Heather Jarman lives and works in the Lucca and Garfagnana area of Northern Italy and organizes a series of 'Gastronomic Adventures' for all those with a passion for Artisan Foods and taking a close and personal look at how Italian traditional foods are produced. Some of her tours include ''Cheese + Bread +Honey'' , ''Truffles + Olive Oil + Cestnuts'' and now she is organising a Professional Course for those wanting to see and experience traditional Salumi production in the heart of the Italian countryside.
The course is designed and led by Giancarlo Russo who helped write the Slow Food Guide ''Salumi D'Italia'' and includes both theory and hands on practical Salami making with visits to local Artisan Butchers and traditional pig rearing farms. The course will see traditional Salami drying rooms/cellars and also using drying cabinets made by Stagionello. Prices vary but the Salami Course is 1180 Euros incl. accomodation and meals.
