Walking through 100s of curing hams was intense. Viewing the entire valley marking the DOP was impressive. Tasting the product-delicious!

The tour was great! Seen the whole process and was able to taste some of the beautiful parma ham. Our guide Mattia was very informative and also gave us all the history of the actual valley and region of the parma ham. Also he English was very good and easy to understand

Travis_K

Our guide, Mattia, did a great job! We were loaded with questions and he was very able to answer them, provide background information, and even give insights on why certain processes were done the way they were. We were amazed by the amount of work and the number of hams ‘hanging.’ A very eye opening and informative experience. On very small negative - it would have been nice to see the factory working, but we arrived during their lunch and missed the action. Dang! Nevertheless, it did not take away from a great day! Thank you, Mattia! On very small negative - it would have been nice to see the factory working, but we arrived during their lunch and missed the action. Dang! Nevertheless, it did not take away from a great day!

Fabrique familiale superbe. Chance d'avoir été accueilli par la famille, d'une grande gentillesse. Très agréable. Enfants impressionnés et ravis. Attention : adresse VIATOR non indiquée, mauvaise info reçue pour nous qui a failli nous priver de ce moment superbe
