Cancellation Policy
We understand that plans can change unexpectedly. To ensure fairness to both our clients and our team, the following cancellation policy applies:
Cancellations within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment
Due to the limited notice, cancellations made 24 hours or less before the appointment will incur a 100% cancellation fee. Unfortunately, no refunds will be provided as it becomes difficult to fill the spot on such short notice.
Cancellations between 48 to 72 hours prior to the scheduled appointment
If you need to cancel your appointment between 48 and 72 hours before the scheduled time, a 50% penalty will be charged. You will receive a refund of 50% of the total fee paid. This allows us some time to adjust our schedule but still impacts our ability to rebook your slot.
Cancellations made more than 72 hours in advance
Cancellations made more than 72 hours before the appointment are fully refundable, with no penalties applied. This provides us ample time to reallocate resources and accommodate other clients.
Tour Description
Discover the origins of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with a visit to a Parma cheese factory. It will be possible to see how this cheese, protected by the EU, is still produced following traditional methods, exclusively in the Typical Zone of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and part of Bologna and Mantua. This extraordinary cheese was produced for the first time nine centuries ago by Cistercian monks in the Parma countryside.
During the visit it will be possible to witness the extraction of the Parmesan cheese from the boilers, where the milk is cooked, and then move to the brine room and then to the maturing warehouse.
In the warehouse it will be possible to see thousands of wheels of different seasoning and our experts will carry out the "beating" to evaluate the quality of the product.
Finally, there will be a tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano of different ages, accompanied by balsamic vinegar and local sparkling wine.
