Les secrets du Parmigiano Reggiano et du vinaigre balsamique
Description
Je vais vous faire découvrir toutes les étapes de la fabrication du Parmigiano Reggiano. Nous verrons où les animaux sont élevés et où le lait est produit. Nous visiterons la fromagerie pendant la transformation du lait et assisterons à la cuisson et à la fabrication des meules de fromage. Nous découvrirons ensuite le processus de salage et d'affinage, jusqu'à l'entrée dans l'immense « caveau », où des milliers de meules de fromage sont conservées et disposées en longues rangées dans les salles d'affinage silencieuses, et où l'odeur du fromage sera si agréable et alléchante que nous ne pourrons pas résister jusqu'à la dégustation finale. Au cours de cette visite spéciale, vous pourrez caresser les veaux nouveau-nés de notre ferme, ce qui arrive presque tous les jours. vous pourrez déguster le roi des fromages par excellence ainsi que de nombreux autres produits artisanaux locaux, tels qu'un véritable vinaigre balsamique vieilli plus de 30 ans, du jambon de Parme et du vin Lambrusco et à la fin, vous pourrez acheter un morceau de véritable Parmigiano Reggiano ou du vinaigre balsamique à emporter chez vous

Une ancienne ferme transformée en gîte rural où nous ferons une pause-café dès notre arrivée le matin. À la fin de la visite, nous dégusterons des fromages affinés 12, 24 et 36 mois, accompagnés de salami typique d'Émilie, d'un verre de vin Lambrusco DOC et de trois vinaigres balsamiques vieillis 8, 15 et 30 ans.

This was a family owned and run operation. Claiuduo was a fantastic guide. No rushing. Individual attention and a fascinating setting and commentary. One of the best and genuine experienced we have had in Italy this year. 100% recommend. Relax and enjoy
We had an awesome day with Claudio explaining to us how Parmigiano Reggiano is made - then showing us every step of the process until you arrive at the finished product. We then got to taste it at different stages of maturity along with some salami and wine. That was so good. Then we saw how Balsamic Vinegar is made and the process explained and then got to taste that at different levels of aging. It just amazed us as to how much time and effort goes into the process of both the cheese and the vinegar to give you the best end result. Could not have had a better tour guide. Claudio's knowledge and understanding of both of these products was second to none. Plus his sense of humour was loved by all. If you are in Bologna or anywhere accessible to Bologna you must do this tour. You will not be disappointed.
Claudio was a great guide to everything Parmesan Reggiano and Balsamico, giving us access to the dairy where milk was turned to wheels of cheese in 12 - 36 months, and taking us to the small production balsamico producer in the hills was fantastic as well.
Delicious Tour We had been looking forward to this tour since since we booked it back in October. It met all our expectations. Claudio is very friendly and knowledgeable. The visit to both the cheese factory and vinegar factory were full of great viewers of the Pianura Padana. The food tasting was exceptional also. I want to thank Claudio for his kindness and knowledge. We feel smarter now. Long live to the Reggiano Reggiano!
Our family of four (two parents, two tweens) had a wonderful time experiencing the Emilia Reggio area with Claudio. He walked us through the various steps of cheese making, the certification process, before showing us his family farm and ending with a balsamic vinegar tasting. The information was delivered in a clear and interesting way. Communication regarding trains and pick up was excellent. I recommend you take this tour.
unbeatable tour in the region. comprehensive Parmesan experience and amazing balsamic vinegar explanation
This was the most authentic experience from my last minute trip this automn. Claudio is the best host, he provided so much insightful details on parmegiano reggiano and balsamic vinegar, the real ones, whivh he knows very well from his family businesses. Now I appreciate the original products even more. Don’t miss this tour if you visit Bologna or surroundings!
I had the most incredible tour yesterday with Claudio — truly the highlight of my trip. The day started with a delicious sweet and savory breakfast and a perfect cappuccino, and from that moment on, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully planned. At the Parmigiano Reggiano factory, Claudio walked us through each step with such depth and clarity that we left feeling like we actually understood the entire process. The same was true at the cow farm — his knowledge, passion, and warmth made it so meaningful. From storytelling to sharing moments together, every part of the day felt personal and special. We enjoyed amazing tastings of wine, cheeses, and meats, followed by a balsamic experience that completely changed how I think about balsamic forever. Claudio is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, inclusive, and FUN — the kind of guide who makes you feel like you’re exploring with a friend who genuinely loves what he does. If you want an authentic, immersive, and joyful food tour, this is the one. I couldn’t recommend it more! 🍷🧀✨
It was a fun, informative tour that gave an in depth dialog about how the cheese is made …every step of the process all the way to the DOP designation. Claudio is a wonderful ambassador for Reggio Emilia and his family!
A wonderful day with Claudio. This is the real deal for gastronauts to understand the process of Parmigiano Reggiano production and balsamic vinegar. The culinary DNA of Emilia Romagna. See the hay, meet the cows, visit the cheese factory whilst operating and of course taste some cheese, Lambrusco and local charcuterie. Then head to the hills to see Claudio’s family batteria of balsamic vinegar and sample over gelato. Communication was great, timings were easy to plan around as we were passing through by train and a good time was had by all. Grazie mille!
