Experience Details

I’ll bring you along a complete tour to discover all the steps of Parmigiano Reggiano’s production. We’ll see where the animals are bred and where the milk is mould. We’ll go into the cheese factory during milk processing and we'll witness in cooking and making cheese wheels. We’ll see then the process of salting and maturing up to enter the huge “caveau”, where thousands of cheeses wheels are guarded and laid out in long rows in the silent maturation rooms and where the scent of cheese will smell so nice and exciting that we won’t be able to resist till the final tasting of cheese.

on this special tour you will be able to touch the newborn calves on our farm which happens almost every day.

you will taste the original king of cheeses and many other local artisanal products such as real balsamic vinegar aged over 30 years and parma ham and lambrusco wine
