Best bang for your buck imaginable

Ian_B, Jul 2026

I cannot begin to state how much my partner and I enjoyed this. While the tour is short, it is informative and it gives you all the insight to the process and how a small family business makes some of the best cheese in the world (in our opinion). The tasting was amazing and opened my eyes to just how good cheese could be, and our tour guide was super sweet and was great company. With 2 weeks spent in various parts of Italy, this will be one of the highlights and something I talk about for a long time. If you are debating it, it’s worth it, and you get every penny, cent, or form of currency you pay for. I bought 1.5 kilos of 24 month Parmesan personally because I felt I couldn’t get enough, and my partner bout 1kg. It’s a lovely tour, business, and experience. It’s with the time.

Excellent tour

Our guide was excellent-good sense of humor, knowledgeable and excellent English. We were there early to watch them pull the cheese out of the bath at the start, which I highly recommend. Be forewarned that if you are sensitive to smell, there are lots of overpowering ones happening all around!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the guide's sense of humor and knowledge, and that you appreciated the early visit to see the cheese being pulled from the bath—that's definitely a must-see. We also appreciate the heads-up about the strong smells; it's good for future visitors to be prepared. Hope to see you again soon!

Milk to parmigiana reggiano

Kerensa_W, Jun 2026

The morning tour was great! We got to see them taking the cheese curd from the vats and putting it in the rounds. The process was fascinating and the fact that every part of the milk is used for a purpose. There was no waste and the product you got to taste at the end was spectacular. The quality control is quite impressive.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Intimate visit to family owned parmigiana reggiano factory

Cindy_C, Apr 2026

This is an intimate visit with a family owned parmigiana reggiano factory that truly respects the tradition and the process. They are a "closed loop" production, producing the hay that feeds the cows, raising and milking the cows, and making the cheese. The tour walks you through the small facility that makes the cheese and shows you the different stages of production. The end is a tasting of cheese of different ages paired with a lovely sparkling red from Modena. Tess is very knowledgeable about the family factory, parmigiana reggiano, and Modena food production. She was great with questions and truly enjoys interacting with visitors and talking about Modena food. It was the number one experience of our Italy trip!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the authentic, closed-loop experience and got to see every step of traditional Parmigiano Reggiano production—from hay to cheese. Tess will be delighted to hear your kind words; she truly loves sharing the passion behind Modena’s food culture. We’re honored to have been the highlight of your Italy trip!

Love the tour!
