I loved all of it. My family too. From the cows to the salt pools and parmigiano towers, the vine, the cheese.
It's allso small and personal. Thank you for everything.

Very well thought out tour that tracks the Parmesan making process in real time, while it’s happening. Rather than just hearing about it, you watch it happen. And then eat a bunch of Parmesan. One of the cooler food tours I’ve experienced
