A real full immersion in the flavours of Parma and the Emilia Romagna region discovering the secrets of the most famous typical products of the territory!
Visiting a Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese Factory is like taking a step back into the past. It means running over nine centuries of history. During the tour you will learn the secrets of this unique cheese, which is still today produced as hundreds of years ago completely without preservatives and additives. You will be able to watch the cheese master’s experienced hands during the cooking and his deft movements during the lifting of the cheese out of the cauldron and after that … the resting, salting and ageing rooms, with their overwhelming aromas! The visit will end with a pleasant tasting, a real pleasure for the senses!
