Overview

Discover the world of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO with a guided tour inside an authentic dairy in the territory of Parma. During the tour you will learn about the main stages of production, from milk processing to forming forms, to the fundamental role of brine and ageing.

You will visit the maturing warehouse, one of the most suggestive environments of the dairy, where the forms of Parmigiano Reggiano rest. The Guide will tell you about the daily work, quality controls and features that make this product one of the most important symbols of the Italian gastronomic tradition.

The tour ends with a tasting of aged Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, accompanied by local wine.

Activity itinerary

Caseificio Ferrarini & Bonetti | Parmigiano Reggiano DOP

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
During the visit to the dairy, travellers will discover the production of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP up close. Accompanied by the Guide, they will be able to observe the main stages of raw milk processing, traditional copper boilers and, when required by production times, the extraction of new forms. The visit continues in the brine room and in the maturing warehouse, where the forms rest until the right maturation is reached. Here the quality control method, including the traditional “typing” of the forms, used by experts to evaluate their internal structure, will be explained. The experience allows you to understand the work, care and time required to obtain one of the symbolic products of the Parma Food Valley.
