Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

True travellers, all their lives, are constantly spurred on by the desire to discover new places and every time take home a variety of images, smells, flavours and sounds that are part of the charm of a city, country or landscape.

This is what happens to those who decide to visit the area where Parmigiano Reggiano, Balsamic Vinegar and Lambrusco wine is produced.

Step back in time to learn how parmigiano-reggiano, known as the ‘king of cheeses,’ is made with this visit to a ‘caseficio,’ or cheese factory. Find out why the provinces of Parma, Modena and Reggio Emilia, are the only ones that can produce authentic parmigiano-reggiano.

Watch cheese makers at work as they cook the milk to separate the whey and lift the parmigiano-reggiano, followed by a visit of the ageing room (the ‘stagionatura’ in Italian).
