Overview
Have you ever wondered how the King of Italian cheeses is made? What's the feeding of dairy cows, how much milk do they produce, how is it stored and delivered to the dairy? We will follow the cheese production process, side by side with the expert master cheesemaker.
We will see the master cheesemaker’s deft movements during the breaking of the curd 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 every morning.
At the end of this experience, Parmigiano Reggiano taste will always bring back memories of the passion and the marvels encountered along the way. We will discover the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, one of the hidden and still little-known jewels of Reggio Emilia and Modena. We are waiting for you to live a truly unforgettable experience!
