Itinerary

1

Province of Modena

For this private gourmet tour we leave very early in the morning to go to a Parmigiano dairy in Modena where we have the precious opportunity of seeing how they make the cheese, from the arrival of milk to the making of the big wheels. We will also visit their storage and will have a tasting.

2

Province of Modena

Visit a balsamic vinegar site (under the roof), learn how the families make it in the barrels for 25 years and have some tastings to understand the astonishing difference with the industrial one. Here we will have a hearty and generous lunch, during which we can use balsamic vinegar on every dish. We will end with some liquor

3

Savignano sul Panaro

Visit a Modena ham producer, where we will see the complete process that a pork leg undergoes from its arrival through all the various stages of maturation, then we have a tasting. Don't forget to bring a jacket with you because inside it's really cold
