What To Expect

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 aging 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.
