Here at Alma Italia we love cities like Venice, Florence, Rome but we also recognize that nowdays it can be difficult to offer an authentic Italian experience in these cities visited by millions of people every day, therefore we believe that you will appreciate this day, espeically knowing that Parma is the perfect base point for starting your awesome Prosciutto, Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegard tasting the following day.  

A fantastic experience in the heart of the Food Valley to discover three  world-class products: Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma Ham and Balsamic  Vinegar of Modena.
The Tour starts from the established starting  point and then heads to a traditional dairy producer to see live the  different stages of Parmigiano Reggiano production.
It will be possible to watch the extraction of the new forms of Parmesan, visit the brine room and the maturing warehouse.
At the end, there will be a tasting of two different cheese ages accompanied by local wine.
Afterwards,  we move towards the town of Langhirano where Parma ham is born. After  an introduction relating to the territory, a visit to the production  rooms of the ham factory and to the maturing rooms is foreseen. At the  end of the visit there will be a  tasting of Parma ham aged for 24 months with homemade bread and wine from the hills of Parma.

To conclude, we will move towards the Balsamic vinegar factory in the  city of Modena. A visit to the company and the processing rooms is  planned, where the "black gold" is produced, aged and stored in ancient  wooden barrels.
There will therefore be a tasting of aged traditional PDO balsamic vinegars and other PGI balsamic vinegars

From the incredible, hallowed ceiling of the Sistine  Chapel to the renowned Renaissance stylings of Saint Peter’s Basilica,  the Vatican City is an ode to Catholicism.
