A guided tour of the dairy, discovering Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, the king of Italian gastronomy!

Con Sigeric, discover the Caseificio Sociale di Borgotaro, operating since 1967 in Alta Valtaro, where Parmigiano Reggiano di Montagna is made exclusively from mountain milk. With the guidance of Stefano, the cheesemaker, a unique experience to discover the secrets and techniques of artisanal production of this delicious cheese, but also to taste Parmigiano directly from the wheel.

Visit the processing rooms, to discover the entire Parmigiano Reggiano DOP supply chain from the processing of freshly milked milk, to salting, to maturing. In the scenic maturing room, in the presence of hundreds of Parmigiano Reggiano wheels, the guided tour ends with a special tasting: straight from the freshly opened wheel, we will taste Parmigiano Reggiano DOP along with some excellent local wine.
