Experience Details

Step into the countryside of Emilia-Romagna and experience the traditions behind two of Italy’s most celebrated products: Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Prosciutto.


Your experience begins at a local Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, where production still follows strict regulations passed down through generations. Learn how milk, time, and skill come together to create this iconic cheese, visit the aging rooms, and enjoy a tasting of different maturations to understand how flavor evolves over time.


Next, visit a traditional prosciutto producer to discover the art of dry-curing ham. Walk through the curing facilities, hear how natural aging and seasonal air play a key role, and taste freshly sliced prosciutto, appreciated for its delicate balance and simplicity.


Throughout the tour, a knowledgeable local guide will explain the deep connection between food, territory, and family-run craftsmanship, offering insights you won’t find in a cookbook.
