    Beatrice was our guide and WOW! What an experience. She was knowledgeable, friendly, excellent at explaining the details and had a clear command of the intricacies of the making of both parmigiana and prosciutto. We wrapped the day up at the loveliest spot for lunch. We had my 6 year old with us who was the most curious and Beatrice explained this to her kindly and patiently.

    Absolutely fantastic experience with Michelle! My family stopped in Parma during our most recent trip to Italy and went on the Slow Parma Food Experience. Michelle was excellent, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the experience. We brought our two small children (4 and 7) on the tour and Michelle went above and beyond to engage both of them in the tour and, to their great joy, brought them to see baby cows! The tour of the Parmigiano Reggiano factory was the highlight with the aforementioned cows adding icing on the cake for the experience. The tasting was generous and delicious. Lunch was equally delicious and the setting breathtaking. Will absolutely book another tour when we return to Emilia Romagna in the future!

    We really enjoyed this tour! Watching the actual process of making parmigiano was so interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable about the process for both the parmigiano and the prosciutto di Parma. She knew the staff at both locations by name and we were the only tourists there, no other large groups also touring, which made it feel very personal and special. I also thought it was really cool that the prosciutto di Parma factory we went to is 4th generation family women-owned and run! The lunch was fantastic quality at a lovely agriturismo. The whole experience was great!

    My family did a slow food tour with Michelle through the Emillia Region during our trip to Italy. We wanted to visit local, organic, family producers that showcased the authentic practices of the food valley, and did not want a touristy, commercial experience. I found Artemilia online, and they exceeded everyone's expectations and created a day that was a once in a lifetime experience. Michelle is passionate about the traditions of the food valley and is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region. She has deep relationships with local producers, which got us into some incredible locations. Her way of storytelling is engaging and personable. During our day, we visited a local dairy farm, traditional balsamic producer, organic winery/vineyard (where we had a fantastic lunch), and prosciutto factory. All of the visits were intimate/private, included tastings of some of the highest quality products that we've had, and were beyond informative and hands-on. My husband equated the day to a Stanley Tucci experience, which I believe to be the ultimate compliment.  If you are visiting the area and want to immerse yourself in the local practices which make this region the food capital of Italy, and arguably the world, you should 100% book with Artemilia.

    One of the best tours we’ve had in Italy. Roberta was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the cheese making process and prosciutto making process. We included lunch with our tour. We went to a great restaurant with a beautiful view. I would definitely recommend!

    Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano

    We will visit an authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese dairy and the visit will be followed by tasting of 12 months, 24 months and 36 months old Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Visiting a Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese dairy with us, you will be able to follow the whole production chain, from the feeding of milking cows, the milk collection and preservation, to the forming of the curd in the typical copper cauldrons. You will be able to watch the cheese master’s experienced hands during the breaking of the curd with the “spino” and his deft movements during the lifting of the cheese out of the cauldron. After that you will visit the resting, salting and ageing rooms of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with their overwhelming aromas. The visit will end with a pleasant tasting, a real pleasure for the senses!
