"If olive oil is Italy’s greatest fat, parmesan may be a close second. Nosrat takes in the cheese-making process at an artisanal factory and concludes her tour with a tasting of rounds that have been aged for 24, 36, and 40 months. A first taste of the youngest cheese literally brings tears to her eyes, and the flavors only get more powerful from there. Cheese-makers Mauro Montipo and Tania Barbieri, of the Consorzio Vacche Rosse, explain why parmesan made from the milk of rare red cows is so special."

We had a fantastic tour of one of the factories on the edge of Reggio Emilia. The guide couldn’t have been more informative and friendly. Very impressed by the care and pride taken in the production. A real artisan product yet globally lived and renowned.

Top address for Parmigiano Reggiano! If you are looking for an English-speaking tour and a visit including tasting of the different ages of the cheese, this is the right place for you. Our guide Manuele was excellent - as was the cheese, of course. Our children also had a lot of fun.

Nicola was an amazing guide and this tour is a steal at only 5 Euros per person. Our tour lasted 90 minutes and involved tasting three different types of delicious cheeses. Highly recommend visiting these historic facilities
