A behind-the-scenes tour that takes you through the production rooms of a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and the farm areas which are usually closed to the public. With a private guide totally dedicated to you and your family or friends, you’ll have the chance to see first-hand the passion and craftsmanship that lead to the creation of the king of cheeses every morning. A slow-paced tour that leads you to discover the details of production technology, ancient tools and modern materials and ends with a delicious vertical tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano, to learn how to taste it like a cheese sommelier.

What To Expect

1

Our experience starts in the early morning with a visit to a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, a small company between Parma and Reggio Emilia that handles the entire supply chain. A private local guide will be dedicated to you and your family or group of friends throughout the day and will answer your questions, explaining what you are observing step by step. You’ll see the whole production process of the king of cheeses, from the feeding of milking cows to the aging of the cheese. You’ll be able to experience the scooping of the huge cheese mass out of the kettle side by side with the master cheesemaker, immersing yourself in the scents of the production room. The visit will end with a delicious vertical tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. You will learn how to taste it like a cheese sommelier, analyzing it through the sense of sight, smell, and taste.

We will have a Photo stop at the Castle of Roccabianca. Our route to the discovery of the Parma Lowlands starts crossing by car the strip of land running from the northern outskirts of Parma to Roccabianca, near the meandering of the Taro river, to reach Zibello and Polesine Parmense, places where it seems as if time has stood still.

    Michelle was the best tour guide we could have asked for! We didn't know too much about what to expect, it was a one on one, personal tour with the guide... just my husband, myself, Michelle (guide), and the driver. We got to visit a small dairy farm/factory that produced the most delicious ricotta and parmesan cheeses. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable about Parma's history and the cheese making process. We also visited Antica Corte Pallavicina Relais and their restaurant Hosteria del Maiale, this was a gem. Here you view a beautiful historic building, absolutely breath taking and a cellar with culatello that is absolutely to die for. Can't recommend this tour enough, so worth the money and time. Can't thank Michelle enough for a memory of a life time!!!
