Fantastic Tour! - The entire experience was one of my favorite tours ever. Seeing the cheese being made and learning about the process was so very interesting. And of course everything tasted great! Going to the farm and seeing the cows that make the milk (and babies) and how they are fed and treated so well was an added bonus!

Fun, educational and DELICIOUS! - Claudio was excellent! From the first time I contacted him, he was extremely responsive. He told me in detail how to get to the tour meeting point from Bologna and he was right there to pick us up at the train station. He is passionate about what he does and he’s so enthusiastic about sharing the process of cheese-making from start to finish in a fun and professional manner. The tasting was fantastic - a little breakfast treat to start and finishing off the tour with cheese, salami, balsamic vinegar and wine! What a great day. Thank you so much!

Pungent, tangy, and unforgettable - The tastes and smells were unforgettable! Claudio, our guide, was delightful, engaging, and full of humor. This was truly a farm to table journey of parmigiana reggiano cheese, and Claudio did an excellent job of informing us about the process and the pride of the region!
