The king of cheese, in the place it was born
You will discover the heart of Parmigiano Reggiano production, right in the area where, more than seven centuries ago, Benedictine monks began its story.
You will witness the birth of a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano: a rare, almost theatrical moment that reveals the true value of traditional craftsmanship.
The tour continues through the salting room and the vast ageing warehouses, where thousands of wheels rest in silence and mature slowly, following the rhythm of time.
The experience concludes with a guided tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano at different stages of ageing, allowing you to discover its aromas, textures, and all the nuances that time has to offer.
