Overview

Have you ever wondered how the King of Italian cheeses is made? What's the feeding of dairy cows, how much milk do they produce, how is it stored and delivered to the dairy? We will follow the cheese production process, side by side with the expert master cheesemaker. We will see the master cheesemakerā€™s deft movements during the breaking of the curd and the delicate cooking phase during which the heat is skillfully controlled to expel water from the granules. We will discover ancient tools and modern materials, method and passion, a magical combination that leads to the creation of Parmigiano Reggiano every morning. At the end of this experience, Parmigiano Reggiano taste will always bring back memories of the passion and the marvels encountered along the way. We will discover the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, one of the hidden and still little-known jewels of Reggio Emilia and Modena. We are waiting for you to live a truly unforgettable experience!

Loved this tour, fascinating

Published on Jan, 2025

Michelle was very knowledgable! Kept us engaged, explained everything and very kind. She has great relationships with the balsamic and caseificio

The Best of Emilia Romagna

Published on Jan, 2025

Michelle is an expert in the art of teaching about the heart of Emilia Romagna. Her knowledge of the history, process and flavors of Parmigiano Reggiano and Aceto is enormous. Even greater is her passion for what she does. This is evident at every moment of the tour, which was one of the best we have ever done. Highly recommended!

A Tour is Not Just the Sights, it is a Fantastic Local Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

We cannot recommend Michelle enough as a tour guide! She was absolutely amazingā€”her passion, knowledge, and generosity made our tour of the Parmigiano Reggiano production and balsamic vinegar truly unforgettable. Michelle brought every step of the process to life, explaining everything in such an engaging way that we left not only with a greater appreciation for these incredible products but also with a deeper connection to the tradition and craftsmanship behind them. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel like family. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, thanks to Michelle. We wish there was more time to take additional tours with her on this trip!!

Loved the experience and want to come back

Published on Dec, 2024

The experience was amazing. Michelle was an excellent guide, she provides many historic facts that make the experience fun and interesting. We were able to talk directly with the producers and had the opportunity to see the cheese and vinegar processes inside the factories at first row. We would love to come back to Parma and repeat this experience.
