Overview

An unforgettable journey into the authentic heart of Modena’s culinary heritage — a must-do experience for food lovers visiting the region. Led by the passionate team of Acetaia Malagoli Daniele, this tour introduces you to two iconic Made in Italy treasures: Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, discovered directly where they are produced.
Begin at an organic dairy farm, where you’ll meet the cows, visit the milking area, and watch skilled cheesemakers craft authentic Parmigiano Reggiano using traditional methods. Then continue to a traditional Acetaia, stepping into an attic lined with wooden barrels, where cooked grape must slowly ages into precious Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. This family-run, behind-the-scenes experience offers rare insight into the craftsmanship and passion that define Modena’s food traditions. The experience takes place at two countryside locations. Transportation is required to reach the first site and to move between locations

The experience takes place in two different locations. For this reason, transportation is needed both to reach the first location and to move to the second one. The second location, like the first, is in the countryside. Therefore, a means of transport is necessary.

Caseificio Bio Reggiani

Guests will be welcomed to one of the most significant place, a cheese factory dedicated to the making of the king of the cheeses: the parmigiano reggiano. This is a very authentic local farm and its most magical value is represented by the production chain, which means that all is made here. From the alfalfa for the cows to the seasoned cheese, ready to be tasted, all happens here. You'll see the cows, the little calves, the taurus, the milking parlor, the making and the seasoning. Most of all, the tour begins at 8:30am in the morning in order to see the cheese makers at work. This is maybe the most interesting and passionate part of the tour since you'll see how parmigiano reggiano is manually made, with passion and sacrifice.

Acetaia Malagoli Daniele

Guests will be welcomed to another very significant place of the modenese culture, an Acetaia. It is the place where traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena is aged for years with lots passion and patience. Maybe not all know that in the market, and by the italian law, there are 2 products: balsamic vinegar of Modena IGP and traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena DOP. Names and certifications sound very similar but even if they both are good products, they're different ones. Ingredients, ages, making processes, origin of the grapes... they're all different. This experience gives you the opportunity to discover the product that represents part of the local culture since thousand years. The traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena DOP has always been limited to family production, since it really represents an ancient heritage, and for this reason it has never represented a commercial product that people can easily find all over the world; here's the reason why many people don't know it.
