On a full-day tour, you'll learn about the origins of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese during a visit to a cheese factory in Parma.Find out how this cheese, protected by the EU, is still made following traditional methods, produced exclusively in the typical area of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and parts of Bologna and Mantua, Parmesan dates back over 9 centuries.

Next, head to the picturesque hills of Langhirano, home to Prosciutto di Parma. The tour begins with a brief history of production, followed by a visit to the 'cold zone', where fresh meat is processed, learn how the best meat is chosen, and see the salting machinery and chilling/resting rooms.

Check out the curing chambers and taste the traditional aromas of ham in the air. Learn about the "spillatura" and how only the best hams pass the test and are labeled the famous "Crown of Parma". Finally, enjoy a Parma ham tasting accompanied by a glass of local wine.

Then moving to Modena, we will discover the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, one of the hidden and still little-known jewels of the Modena area.

The entire tour went smoothly: pick up, 3 stops, and drop off. Each stop (parmesan, parma ham, balsamic) was very interesting and informative. Also, the tasting at each stop was wonderful.

I went in July 2025 doing the big tour (Parmesan + Parma Ham + Balsamic) with my family of four including a 3 year old and a 5 year old.

We visited two smaller produces for Parmigiano Reggiano and Proscuitto di Parma (tours done by ParmaLook) and visited a historied Balsamico di Modena producer (tour done by the producer). All the stops were very informative and included a decent number of tastings for each product.

I was most impressed with how the tour operators (Loris and our driver) was extremely accommodating to us, especially our two kids on a pretty long tour day. I am genuinely thankful and I won't forget the hospitality!

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting in the Emilia Romagna region - it is definitely worth it!
