Overview

Looking for an authentic experience, far from the major tourist flows, to discover the soul and traditions of the Italian Food Valley? Come and discover Emilia Romagna and its food excellences, Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma, at a slow pace, relying on the professionalism of a local and experienced private guide dedicated to you and your friends or family. You will follow the whole production chain, from the feeding of milking cows to the ageing of the cheese wheels in the foodies heaven, the astounding Parmigiano Reggiano warehouse. You will closely watch the cheese master’s experienced hands during the breaking of the curd and his deft movements during the lifting of the cheese out of the kettle. The visit will end with a delightful tasting of different ageings of cheese. We will transfer to the hills of Parma to visit one of the plants where the inimitable Prosciutto is produced. The tour will end with a lunch of typical Parma delicacies and wine from the Parma Hills.
