The tour was longer than we anticipated, but it was certainly worth it. The visit to the Reggiano Parmigiano, Prosciutto de Parma, and balsamic vinegar producers was exceptional and should never be missed.
Amazing!!

Don't miss doing this tour! Mateo was so fun. Every place we went the families who owned the factories programs were so gracious. Tour was with about 8 ppl. Which made it very nice. Everything was top notch The places we went were either the oldest owned or small family operations which made it even better. Highly recommend!!!
An unforgettable day in Parma

The tour involves a stop at a large Parma processing plant where you will learn how parmesan is made and get to taste amazing parmigiano reggiano. Next you will travel to a nearby family owned prosciutto company where you'll see how prosciutto is aged and then you get to meet the man responsible for the most amazing prosciutto ever. Lastly you will visit a balsamic producer and learn much about the aging process. We sampled over 10 different balsamic vinegars. One better than the next. Such an amazing day! Our tour guide Piedro was absolutely fabulous and shared a ton of information about Parma. I highly recommend this tour!
Loved It!

This was a wonderful introduction to the charms of Parma and Modena. We had an in-depth and fascinating tour of a Parmesan factory in Parma and a prosciutto factory in Parma together with a balsamic vinegar factory in Modena. Highly interesting and very informative. Plenty of food to taste!
