What you can expect

  • Learn the secrets of some Italian specialties on a tour of Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto factories. Enjoy a hassle-free visit with pickup and drop-off from convenient pickup points in Parma.
    The tour begins at the scheduled time. Watch the masters at work as you hear an overview of Parmigiano Reggiano's history from your local guide.
    Next, visit the seasoning/storage rooms where the cheese is brought for its last stage of production. At the end of the tour, try some different aged Parmigiano Reggiano and browse the on-site shop where you can purchase local products.

    After, head to the Prosciutto di Parma Ham producers. The tour begins with a brief history of the production, followed by a visit to the “cold stage,” where fresh meats are processed.

    Learn how the best meat is chosen and see the salting machinery and refrigeration/resting cells. Take a look in the seasoning chambers and savor the traditional ham aromas in the air. Learn about the “spillatura” and how only the best hams pass the test and are branded as the famed “Crown of Parma.”
    Finally, enjoy a degustation of Parma ham accompanied by a glass of local wine. After the tasting, your guide will bring you to your hotel or pickup point.

    • Via Città del Tricolore, 42122 Reggio nell'Emilia RE, Italia | The pick up will be at: REGGIO EMILIA AV MEDIOPADANA, Via Città del Tricolore, 4211 Reggio nell'Emilia RE. Thanks to the strategic location of the Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana station, this tour is extremely convenient for those arriving from Milan or Florence: in less than an hour by train you can set off to discover the authentic flavors of Emilia, between Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma. Please note: the Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana station is not the central train station of Reggio Emilia. It is the High-Speed station, located outside the city, served exclusively by Frecciarossa and Italo trains. If you are arriving from Bologna, we recommend booking the tour with departure time from Parma (8:30 and 10:00 AM) which is easier to reach. Our van waits in the parking area in front of the main entrance. The vehicle will leave no later than 10 minutes after the scheduled pickup time. The tour will continue in the province of Parma.
