Full Description
Step into the heart of Parma’s Food Valley and discover the authentic flavors of Parmigiano Reggiano. This cheese tour in Parma takes you inside a traditional Parma cheese factory, where you’ll learn how the world-famous Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is still made using centuries-old methods in the protected Typical Zone of Emilia Romagna.
Watch the skilled cheesemakers as they extract the fresh wheels from the copper vats, visit the brine room, and explore the impressive maturing warehouse filled with thousands of aging wheels. Here, experts will demonstrate the traditional “beating” technique used to check the quality of every wheel of Parmesan cheese.
The tour ends with a guided cheese tasting in Parma, where you’ll sample different ages of Parmigiano Reggiano, perfectly paired with balsamic vinegar and a glass of local Malvasia sparkling wine. This unforgettable Food Valley experience is the perfect way to connect with Parma’s culinary traditions.
