15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Caseificio Bio Reggiani
At this caseificio (cheese factory) you will be introduced to the universe of parmesan cheese and get to know its secrets. Behind every roll of Parmigiano Reggiano is more than meets the eye, due to the intricate traditional recipe behind and the controlled conditions of the entire process.

You will watch cheese makers at work and witness the entire process. The tour of the factory will eventually lead to the aging room (‘stagionatura’ in Italian), where you will admire rows and columns of cheese wheels perfuming the air. The factory produces more types of cheese, all organic.

The caseificio tour will end with a tasting of Parmesan Cheese accompanied by local products.

2 hours • Admission Ticket Included
