08:30 am – Start your day with one of our Cheese Factory Tours

Meet our guide in Parma and head on to visit an authentic producer of Parmigiano-Reggiano PDO: you’ll discover how the King of all cheeses has been literally made byhand in the same way since the Benedictine monks invented it 10 centuries ago! From the curdling into the typical copper heaters to the salting and the final ageing in the so-called wheel cathedrals, you will be a privileged witness of almost all the steps of production of this out-and-out food icon. Tasting at the end.

On the way – Take a look at the stunning castle of Torrechiara, one of the 40 manors of the area!

11:00 am – Guided visit with final tasting

At one of the local family-run ham factories producing the mythical Prosciutto di Parma PDO: you will get to know why this ultra-famous cured meat can only be made in the hills of Parma, where the sea breeze blows from the Tirrenian all along this very specific river valley.

Notes

Program: the described program may undergo minor changes in the timings.

Live production: being artisanal and not industrial products, the working cycle is not repeated every day at the same time, so it is not guaranteed to see craftsmen at work at each site (for example: Wine and Vinegar making, Prosciutto di Parma, Culatello)

Our drivers are NOT driver-guides, since this kind of professional profile is forbidden by the Italian law.

A Self drive option is available, for more information [email protected]
