Know More about this tour

Meet your guide at the caseficio in Parma, and start your tour to learn about parmigiano-reggiano, aka the king of cheese.

The famous hard cheese is guaranteed in its origin, so only Modena, Reggio Emilia, Parma, and some parts of Mantova and Bologna are able to produce it.

See the producers at work as they heat the milk to separate the whey. Watch as the cheese is salted and shaped into a wheel before its placed in the aging room.

As you admire the rows of wheels, hear how the cheese is hammered, fire-branded, and subject to stringent tests before it is finally allowed to be sold as parmigiano-reggiano.

Finally, finish your tour and sit down for acheese tasting with honey and local wine.

Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.

    Vale assolutamente la pena visitare il bellissimo caseificio in cui viene fatto un tour del caseificio, viene spiegato come viene prodotto il parmigiano e si conclude con la degustazione dell'ottimo formaggio. L'organizzazione è precisa e puntuale, e la modalità della visita nella prima parte della mattinata permette di avere una giornata piena davanti. Assolutamente consigliato!

    Watching the master cheese makers and hearing how it was done. Our guide was very informative and answered all our questions.

    We enjoyed the tour! The pickup process was quite chaotic, and our driver was 15 minutes late - so we were left wondering if anyone was coming to get us. But someone did eventually show up and the tour itself was great. It did last about 30 minutes longer than the tour description had indicated so thankfully we had built in some buffer time to our agenda as we were catching a train later that day.

    Tour was amazing! So interesting and impressive to learn how the cheese is made. We loved it! The hard work it takes to make the cheese really makes you appreciate the end product even more.

    This was a great opportunity to see a local business, learn about cheese making, and taste some very good cheese. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. On this trip we are enjoying seeing lots of amazing museums and cathedrals, but this was a welcome change of pace.
