In my suitcase as I head home today.
Parmesano Reggiao 30 month, and the proper speck for carbonara. And a couple of other goodies.

Train from Italy to Munich.
There was some police presence occasionally but they were after migrants.

to bring tangible memories of your trip.

We always try to find honey from the area we are visiting. Last spring when we were in Italy we found a grocery store that vacuum packed cheese and sausage for us so we were able to bring it home. Picked out whatever cheese we wanted from the "cheese case". Of course put all of our goodies in checked luggage.
