Visit a historic cheese cooperative near Modena and learn about the production of high-quality Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. Founded in 1975, this cooperative sources approximately 55,000 quintals of milk annually from the Castelvetro and Marano Sul Panaro areas. Certified with the ISO 9001 Quality Management System since 2000, the facility guarantees the excellence of its products.During the tour, explore the cheese-making process, including the production of Parmigiano Reggiano and the fresh ricotta of the day. The journey takes you through the "waiting room" for fresh forms, the "salting room," and concludes in the aging cellar, where around 12,000 cheese wheels rest on shelves, showcasing the craftsmanship behind each product.Enjoy a tasting session featuring three varieties of Parmigiano Reggiano aged 12, 24, and 36 months, alongside the daily ricotta. These will be expertly paired with water, honey and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, enhancing the flavors and providing a true taste of the region.At the end of the visit, purchase a selection of local specialties directly from the farm shop, supporting regional producers and taking home authentic products.
