Discovering Parmigiano and Culatello through knowledge and flavours
Guided tours and tastings in the province of Parma, in the heart of the Food Valley
Parma is the kingdom of the Food Valley, of good living and good food. You cannot fully understand the city if you do not also taste its typical products, a symbol of excellence in the world. Together with an expert guide, visit a cheese facytory to discover the history and processing stages of Parmigiano Reggiano, letting yourself be conquered by its taste thanks to a tasting of different maturing periods of the cheese. Continue to the Bassa (ie lower) Parma plain, near the Po river, to taste the Culatello di Zibello DOP (ie PDO,protected designation of origin) produced exclusively in this humid microclimate and loved by illustrious people such as Prince Charles of England and Prince Albert of Monaco. Conclude with a tasting lunch based on Culatello di Zibello and other cured meats, paired with local wines. An experience to let yourself be carried away by the taste of a unique history, part of the cultural identity of Parma
