Overview
Discover the heart of Italian gastronomic tradition with an unforgettable experience between Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma Ham! Embark on a journey through authentic flavors and ancient craft techniques. Visit a local dairy and see the production of the famous Parmigiano Reggiano up close: from copper cauldrons to majestic aging rooms, where thousands of shapes rest waiting to reach perfection. Hear the tales of the expert Guide and conclude with a delicious tasting of different ripenings. Then continue to a traditional ham factory. Discover every step of the Ham processing from the selection of meats to salting, up to the slow maturation that gives the product its unmistakable aroma. Attend the “tapping”, the method used to ensure quality, and toast with a glass of local wine during the final tasting. For those departing from bologna also included visit to the historic vinegar factory
