What to expect

Visit to an authentic cheese dairy of Parmigiano-Reggiano of the Lowlands of Parma and discover how 'the king of all cheeses' is made in the same way since centuries ago like the Monks who invented it. You'll see firsthand the making of it, the salt pools and the 'wheel cathedrals', real walls of cheese up to 20.000 in the same place! Later, you will also visit a unique farm in Italy where you’ll be able to admire local fruit and vegetable cultivations, local black pigs, many other farm animals and the vineyard where local wines are made, to learn how the real 'farm to table' concept works.

After that, you will explore Antica Corte Pallavicina, a medieval court where you’ll admire the new museum of Culatello di Zibello, to learn the history and making of this amazing product with instructive audio guides and the aging cellars dating back to the XII century.

There will be a tasting session with lunch at the end of the visit with a large selection of the production of the farm including: Culatello di Zibello, Salame Gentile, Strolghino di Culatello, lard and Cotto Spigaroli (cooked ham), Giardiniera (pickled vegetables), homemade focaccia, paired with 2 different wines: dry Lambrusco and Fortana del Taro.

Your last stop will be Fidenza Village, for 1 hour of free time for some great shopping at discounted prices with special extra services just for you.
