All you want to know about parmigiano reggiano - Instructions for pick up very clear. On time. Safe drive to the factory in the near countryside. Explainations were given both in italian and english. Very interresting to learn the production process from cow stalls to the worldwide known cheese wheel. And obviously the cheese tasting was much appreciated!! Had a very good experience and would recommend it !

A foodie must - We had a fantastic experience learning about the history and process of how parmigiano reggiano is made! We visited a small farm outside of Parma, where we got to see everything, from the cows, to the cooking of the cheese, tasting completely unaged parmigiano reggiano, how the wheels are shaped, brined, and aged! Everything was amazing! At the end we enjoyed a young and an older parmigiano reggiano, paired with balsamic vinegar from Modena, crakers from Calabria, and a local wine. 10/10 would recommend! Our only regret is not doing the prosciutto tour combo.

Great tour but... - Great tour with one on one tour guide. Guide was wonderful! The only thing that fell short was that we only tasted one inner core ring but would have been nice to try different aged cheeses to get to 5 star.
