About this experience
A journey to discover secrets and most authentic flavors of our land. We will start from the King of Cheeses, the Parmigiano Reggiano, visiting a family-run farm, where this excellence was born ten hundred years ago and it is still made with the same ingredients and techniques. It is a result of hand-made experience of one man: the “casaro” (the cheese maker) who creates the “wheel” of Parmigiano Reggiano, in a full-artisanal way. We will continue our gourmet experience visiting one of the best producers of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia. Here, we will discover the secrets beyond this unique and sophisticated product. At the end of both visits you'll taste both products. At the end, tasting lunch in a local restaurant or agritourism based on typical products.

Detailed itinerary
1
Partiremo dal Re dei Formaggi, il Parmigiano Reggiano, visitando un’azienda agricola nella zona di Reggio Emilia o Modena dove questo prodotto è nato otto secoli fa ed è ancora prodotto con gli stessi ingredienti e gli stessi metodi. Un prodotto nel quale la sensibilità e l’esperienza dell’uomo sono ancora fondamentali dato che è il “casaro”, in maniera del tutto artigianale, a creare la forma di Parmigiano Reggiano. Proseguiremo il nostro tour visitando uno dei migliori produttori di Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia o Modena, nel quale si scopriranno i segreti che si celano dietro a questo unico e raffinato prodotto. Entrambe le visite sono seguite da una degustazione in purezza del prodotto, con pranzo finale in un agriturismo o ristorante locale a base di prodotti tipici.
