Zingerman’s Annual Piazza Zingermanza

Saturday August 14th and Sunday August 15th 11am to 3pm

Our annual August tradition of transforming the Deli’s Patio into an Italian Street Food Fest is one of
the highlights of the year. Come and and watch as we cut those 80# wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano
cheese into approachable chunks. Witness as we turn curd into delectably soft balls of mozzarella.
Get your fix of Prosciutto- sliced to order. We’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves, but they’re all firmly
rooted in the traditions of the Italian gastronomic powerhouse. It’s an event not to be missed!
