Why take this tour?

Have you ever wondered how the King of Italian cheeses is made? What is the feeding of Parmigiano Reggiano dairy cows, how much milk do they produce, how is it stored and delivered to the dairy? Have you ever wondered what the ingredients are, how the processing takes place? We will follow the cheese production process step by step, side by side with the expert master cheesemaker. We will see the master cheese maker’s deft movements during the breaking of the curd with the “spino” and the delicate cooking phase during which the heat is skillfully controlled to expel water from the granules. We will discover ancient tools and modern materials, method and passion, a magical combination that leads to the creation of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese every morning. At the end of this experience, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese will always be a taste which brings back memories of the passion and the marvels encountered along the way. We are waiting for you to live a truly unforgettable experience!
