Highly recommended! - It was a great tour; the factory was small and family-oriented, allowing us to see everything up close. You stand right next to it when the cheese mass is taken from the whey. The tour guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated. Transportation also worked out great.

Parmesan Cheese Making and Organic Farm Tour - Very insightful and informative seeing the process from start to finish. Loved the fact that the tour featured a small organic farm that grows the grass, raises that dairy cows and uses the milk to make the Parmesan cheese. Full 360 experience! Very friendly, excellent shuttle service to and from the farm with English speaking guides! A must experience while visiting Parma.

Great educational cheese tour - Don't hesitate to book this tour! It was super informative, comfortable and interesting. Our tour guide was awesome. We learned a lot about the process of making parmesan reggiano, from seeing the cows that are milked to the molding of the cheese, it was very educational. We got to taste the cheese as well with a glass of wine. We took our teo kids, ages 10 and 11 and they loved it too!

The Real Deal. Up Close Cheesemaking By Hand. - If you want to meet some cows and view cheesemaking up close, this is the tour for you. The organic Gazzano farm that we went to in February 2026 produces just six wheels a day and we saw them all formed by hand. It was an extraordinary experience to see so much of the process from literally inches away. The tour was super informative and you can choose to bore down deep into all the details or just observe. We learned about the milking (approximately 500 litres per wheel!), the shaping, soaking, labeling, aging, and grading just to name a few. Samples were plentiful and there was zero sales pressure to purchase anything. It was a memorable experience for our family (including a 13 year old) and was exactly the sort of artisanal production we were looking for. Bravo! Go and kiss a cow. They deserve it.
