Meet the dairy guide directly on site and start your visit of an authentic producer of Parmigiano-Reggiano PDO: you’ll discover how the King of all cheeses has been literally made by hand in the same way since the Benedictine monks invented it 10 centuries ago! From the curdling into the typical copper heaters to the salting and the final ageing in the so-called wheel cathedrals, you will be a privileged witness of almost all the steps of production of this out-and-out food icon. Tasting at the end. You will join a shared tour made by the staff of the dairy. The producer can be max 30km far from the city center.

Where this sits in Bologna

Bologna is about 8 min by road from Bologna Marconi Airport. The food capital, and it does not have to try. Porticoes for miles, a real university city rather than a museum piece, and Modena and Parma close enough for a day out.
