Parmigiano and Culatello Private Tour with Lunch and Farm Visit
Overview
A behind-the-scenes tour that takes you through the production rooms of a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and the farm areas which are usually closed to the public. With a private guide totally dedicated to you and your family or friends, you’ll have the chance to see first-hand the passion and craftsmanship that lead to the creation of the king of cheeses every morning. A slow-paced tour that leads you to discover the details of production technology, ancient tools and modern materials and ends with a delicious vertical tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano, to learn how to taste it like a cheese sommelier. The second stop of the morning takes us to discover the secrets of Culatello of Zibello, visiting a farm devoted to the recovery of ancient local breeds. We’ll observe the vegetable gardens, the vineyards and enter the magnificent cellars. Enjoy the masterpieces of the local culinary tradition such as Culatello, Spalla, Salami having a lunch based on local delicacies and wine.
