Discover two of Emilia-Romagna's greatest culinary treasures in a single unforgettable experience—far from mass tourism and rich in authentic family hospitality.
Your morning begins at a traditional Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, where you'll witness the fascinating early-morning production of one of the world's most celebrated cheeses. Watch master cheesemakers transform fresh milk into magnificent wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano using methods that have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. You'll also visit the impressive ageing warehouse, where thousands of wheels mature slowly to develop their unmistakable flavour.
After the dairy visit, you'll continue through the peaceful countryside between Modena and Bologna until you arrive at Acetaia Malagoli Daniele.
This is not simply a vinegar producer—it is the home of the Malagoli family.
Here, you're welcomed not as a tourist, but as a guest.
Before the guided visit begins, we'll invite you to relax with a slice of homemade cake, freshly baked by our family, accompanied by authentic Italian espresso or cappuccino. This small tradition reflects the genuine warmth of Emilian hospitality and sets the tone for an experience designed to make you feel at home.
Every detail of your visit has been carefully prepared by our family and our team. We intentionally welcome only small groups, allowing every guest to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, ask questions, and experience our traditions in a personal and meaningful way.
Your guide will then accompany you into our historic attic, where hundreds of wooden barrels quietly guard one of Italy's most extraordinary gastronomic treasures: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP.
As the unmistakable aroma fills the air, you'll discover why this remarkable product is unlike any other balsamic vinegar. Learn how cooked grape must, time, patience, and generations of family knowledge come together to create what is often called the “Black Gold of Modena.”
The experience concludes with a generous guided tasting of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP of different ages, alongside a selection of our artisanal balsamic specialities. Every tasting is explained in detail, helping you appreciate how time transforms simple ingredients into products of exceptional elegance and complexity.
There is never any pressure to purchase. Our greatest satisfaction is sharing our family's storey, our traditions, and our passion with guests from around the world.
This is not a commercial attraction or a stop designed for large tour groups. It is an invitation into our family home, where authentic hospitality, meticulous attention to every detail, and a deep love for Modena's culinary heritage come together to create an experience you'll remember long after your journey through Italy.
Come for the Parmigiano Reggiano and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP.
Leave feeling like you've been welcomed by an Italian family.
