Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma & Balsamic Vinegar Experience

Indulge in an unforgettable culinary journey through Parma’s finest products—Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. Begin with a visit to a family-owned Parmigiano Reggiano producer, where you’ll learn about the origins of this iconic cheese and the traditional methods used to create it. Taste the complex, nutty flavours of this legendary cheese, which has been crafted in the Zona Tipica of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and parts of Bologna and Mantova for over 900 years.

Next, visit a family-run prosciuttificio to discover the art of producing Prosciutto di Parma. Hear the history of this world-famous ham, watch the careful selection of the finest meats, and explore the salting machinery and ageing chambers. Learn about the “spillatura” process and how only the best hams are branded with the prestigious “Crown of Parma.” Enjoy a tasting of Prosciutto di Parma, paired with a glass of local wine, to savour its delicate flavours.

Finally, delve into the world of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. Visit a family-owned producer in Modena and discover the intricate process of ageing balsamic vinegar in wooden barrels. After the tour, enjoy a tasting of 12-year-old and 25-year-old Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, along with other balsamic condiments, and appreciate the depth of flavours that have made this product a hidden gem of the region.
