Emilia Foodie Experience is an extraordinary journey through a landscape of rivers, plains and hills and the jewels of the Italian gastronomic tradition!

We will discover the secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Prosciutto di Parma, their ancient origins and unparalleled balance of knowledge, man’s passion and nature’s bounty. We will see the cheese production process in full swing and we will visit all the rooms of the cheese dairy: the production room, the shaping room, the salting room and the amazing warehouse! The dairy experience will end with a tasting of delicious Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. We will reach an authentic Prosciutto di Parma Plant, crossing the Parma Hills region. During the visit to the plant we will be able to observe the production process of this delicacy and learn about its important history and all the standards which must be complied with, to fully understand the the origins of the unique character of Parma ham: the sweetness!

    Tour as described was close to 6.5 hr. Cecilia was the tour guide. She was very passionate about details as she grew up in the area and her father was a cheese maker. We chose to use our own transportation so we could drive on from our last stop.

  • Amazing tour of Parma with cheese and ham

    Beatrice was an outstanding guide. She was obviously passionate about the locations and products she showed us and was great at giving information, answering questions and showing us the process. Seeing the cheese made and walking through each step was amazing and the same for the Parma ham. Guido our driver did a wonderful job maneuvering through the fog and even though we couldn’t see the lovely landscapes and castle due to the fog we have a wonderful tour and I would recommend to anyone. We also tried a sandwich shop she mentioned after the tour and it was delicious.

    Cecilia is a total gem & gave us a 5🌟 experience in Parma & the ER region! She and our driver Guido guided us safely through the gorgeous countryside for behind the scenes experiences at a functional dairy & prosciutteria. She’s so knowledgeable, kind, and authentically interactive- we made a new friend!!
