Is this experience for you?
Tour Highlights
Full Description
Engage all five senses: watch cheese-making, touch the cheese, smell its aroma, listen to farm sounds, and taste the delicate flavor. Enjoy humorous animal metaphors and stories that blend history, geography, and psychology, including the “Japanese Room,” “Wow Room,” and the story of the pig. Playful language like “C’è una volta” reveals deeper truths about tradition.
The tour ends with a final tasting. The 9 a.m. tour uniquely includes witnessing the daily Parmigiano birth, a highlight. Other tours visit the farm, cheese aging, and tasting, but do not include the birth process.
