Caseificio

The first stop on our tour is at a dairy that produces Parmigiano Reggiano, the most famous aged cheese in the world. During this experience, customers will have the opportunity to see all stages of production. They will see how the large wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano are made, how they are handled by the skilled hands of the cheesemakers and, finally, how they are arranged for ageing. Of course, the most eagerly awaited moment is the tasting. Guests will be able to taste at least two different ages of Parmigiano Reggiano accompanied by breadsticks and a glass of fine wine. There is also the opportunity to purchase Parmigiano Reggiano at the shop.
