Lengthy work process - Loved seeing so many wheels of cheese on the shelves and learning how they can tell if they are good enough to merit the official stamp of Parmesan Reggiano. Also how they initially mix the ingredients and how different the taste is before the salt is added (wasn’t palatable at all)

This is a must do! - George was a great tour guide! Loved his passion for the making of Parmesan-Reggiamo cheese. The cheese is delicious. Farm is about 20 minutes away. We returned to our meeting point at the NH hotel at the Parma train station around 10:55. The hotel is great with a buffet breakfast for 18 euro each.

It's the Cheese! - An enthralling peak at what goes into making the best-tasting cheese in the world! A compact tour only a short ride out of downtown Parma and an education that started with the cows having their breakfast right through to the aging process and an ample tasting of authentic Parmesan Reggiano cheese. Our tour guide was both entertaining and informative and his familiarity with the subject matter made him a wealth of information to answer questions and make suggestions. Unlike some tours which are long on talk and short on substance, this was two hours well spent and worth every Euro!

Excellent Outing - Our guide, Martiri, not sure how to spell his name, was very informative and engaging. It was really interesting to learn how true Parmigiano Reggiano is produced.
