Full description

Delve into the rich tradition and artistry behind Parmigiano Reggiano on this immersive guided tour near Parma. Steeped in history since 1895, the factory opens its doors to showcase the fascinating process of creating the world-famous cheese, lovingly known as the "King of Cheeses."

Your journey begins in the production rooms, where skilled artisans demonstrate the traditional techniques that transform fresh milk into the iconic wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano. Witness the intricate process, from curdling and shaping to aging in the vast storage rooms, home to hundreds of carefully stacked wheels.

The tour concludes with an indulgent tasting session. You’ll savor three distinct ages of Parmigiano Reggiano—15, 24, and 36 months—each with unique textures and flavors. Complementing this sensory experience is a serving of Parmigiano cream, a glass of regional wine (Lambrusco or Malvasia), and refreshing water.

Beyond the tasting, this experience offers a deeper appreciation for sustainable farming and the harmonious relationship between the environment and food production. The farm operates with a focus on animal welfare, cultivating organic feed for its Friesian cows and ensuring every step aligns with traditional and eco-friendly practices.

This experience is perfect for food enthusiasts, cultural explorers, and anyone seeking a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of Italy’s culinary treasures. Whether you’re a novice or a Parmigiano Reggiano aficionado, the tour promises an enriching experience that celebrates Italian heritage and innovation
