Parmesan Cheese Visit and Tasting in Modena

Overview

Discover the craftsmanship of Parmesan during a guided tour of a traditional family dairy in Modena, committed to sustainable organic methods. The guide presents the closed-loop production system, from the organic feeding of the herds to the production of high-quality milk. You will observe the entire manufacturing process: curdling, shaping, and the formation of the iconic wheels. The tour continues into the ageing warehouse where over 6,000 wheels are stored, explaining how maturation, from 12 to over 36 months, transforms the cheese's texture and taste. The experience concludes with a tasting of Parmesan of three different ages, revealing the evolution of flavours from mild notes to sharper, nutty profiles. This is accompanied by a glass of Lambrusco DOC, a local sparkling red wine with fruity notes and refreshing acidity, as well as water.
