A Taste of Parma: Parmigiano Reggiano & Parma Ham Tour
Behind every golden cheese wheel and delicate slice of Parma Ham is a tradition worth tasting.
Explore Italy’s Food Valley through two of Parma’s most celebrated specialties: Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma Ham. This guided experience brings you inside the dairies and aging cellars where time, skill, and local heritage shape every bite.
Your journey begins at a traditional dairy, where you’ll follow the making of Parmigiano Reggiano—from freshly formed wheels to brine baths and rows of cheese slowly maturing in the aging cellars. Enjoy a guided tasting of two different maturations, paired with a glass of local wine, and discover how aging develops each cheese’s distinctive character.
Next, travel to Langhirano to visit a family-run Parma Ham producer. Walk through the production rooms and aging cellars while learning about the care behind this renowned specialty. Savor 24-month-aged Parma Ham alongside rustic bread and local wine from the Parma hills.
It’s a delicious glimpse into Parma’s food culture, shared through the places, traditions, and flavors that make it memorable.
