Margaret - United Kingdom
The aging cellar with its 12,000 wheels was breathtaking, and tasting the 36-month Parmigiano drizzled with balsamic vinegar was pure heaven.
Julien - France
Watching the cheesemakers work in the salting room gave me real respect for the craft, and the fresh ricotta paired with honey was a delicious surprise.
Hiroko - Japan
Such a well-organized tour with knowledgeable guides, and comparing the 12, 24, and 36 month cheeses side by side made the flavor differences fascinating.

Full description

Visit a historic cheese cooperative near Modena and discover the secrets of high-quality Parmigiano Reggiano DOP production. Founded in 1975, this facility sources approximately 55,000 quintals of milk annually from the Castelvetro and Marano Sul Panaro regions. Certified with ISO 9001 Quality Management System since 2000, it ensures the highest standards of quality and safety in every step of the cheese-making process.

During the tour, explore the traditional production of Parmigiano Reggiano, including the crafting of fresh cheese and daily ricotta. The experience takes you through the "waiting room" for cheese wheels, the "salting room," and culminates in the aging cellar, where around 12,000 cheese wheels rest on shelves, showcasing expert craftsmanship and centuries-old traditions.

At the end of the visit, enjoy a tasting of three different aged Parmigiano Reggiano varieties: 12, 24, and 36 months, paired with fresh ricotta. These cheeses are complemented by water, honey, and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, enhancing their authentic regional flavors.

You can also purchase a selection of local specialties directly from the farm shop, supporting regional producers and taking home genuine artisanal products. An unmissable experience for cheese lovers and enthusiasts of authentic Modenese culinary traditions.
