Tour Description

This exclusive tour invites you to discover the heart of Italy’s Food Valley.

Begin with an insider’s look at an authentic Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, continue to a traditional Parma Ham curing facility, and conclude your journey within an intimate visit to a traditional balsamic vinegar cellar (Acetaia).

Join us for an immersive sensory experience showcasing the mastery of local craftsmanship.

Observe every stage of production: from the dramatic extraction of Parmigiano wheels to the hand-curing of Parma Ham, concluding with a visit to the aging lofts.

Here, you will be surrounded by the rich aromas of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena as it ages in its signature batteries of various precious woods.

For Parmigiano, it will also be possible to visit the salting rooms and the maturing warehouse where the wheels can be “tapped” to assess their quality, as the experts of the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium do.

The Prosciutto visit includes access to the processing rooms and aging cellars, where you can experience their characteristic aromas.

You will have the chance to explore the 'Acetaia,' learn about the intricate aging cycle, and savor the evolving flavors of balsamic vinegar through a tasting of different vintages.

Product tastings and ound-trip transportation to and from the facilities, are included.
