The White Gold of Parmigiano Reggiano

A Make Me Italy Experience

Discovering the history and secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano. Guided Excursion.

Make Me Italy designed a guided excursion for its guests to visit the place where everything has started, an amazing experience through the centuries that begins and ends at Dairy 3030.

Guests can enjoy a tasting experience at our restaurant featuring the Parmigiano Reggiano, a platter of PDO dry-cured meats, the traditional fried dough and Parmigiano Reggiano milk ice-cream.

The history of the most appreciated and world-famous cheese begins almost a thousand years ago.

The Castle of Scipione, built before 1025, stands on the hills of Salsomaggiore Terme and is still the residence of the descendants of the Pallavicino Marquises.

What You will visit

For centuries, the castle has been the main fortress guarding the precious salt wells. The birth of Parmigiano Reggiano and dry-cured meats is intertwined withthe white gold of the Middle Ages. Let’s discover it together!

Then, let’s visit the Dairy 3030 in Medesano, owned by the president of the Consortium of Parmigiano Reggiano, where we will see the Parmigiano Reggiano cows.
