# Parmigiano Tour — visiting a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy near Parma, Italy > An independent guide to visiting a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy near Parma. Two > things most pages get wrong. You do not need a tour: the Consorzio runs its own > booking page and a dairy visit with tasting costs about 15 to 35 euros booked > direct. And what decides whether you see the cheese being made is the hour you > arrive, because it is made in the morning. A tour mostly sells the ride out to a > rural dairy at the right time. Site: https://parmigianotour.parma.it Language: en, de, pt, fr, it. Currency: EUR. Country: Italy. Translated pages live under // — e.g. /de/, /pt/, /fr/, /it/. Same facts, same prices. This file is the complete version of the site. The HTML pages carry the same facts with more explanation and photographs; nothing material is on the site that is not here. ## Verified facts Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese dairies (caseifici) in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia and Modena, plus Bologna left of the Reno and Mantua right of the Po, and the guided tours that visit them from Parma, Bologna and Modena. - The Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano runs its own dairy booking page, 'Book a guided tour', at parmigianoreggiano.com. Dairy visits with a tasting cost about 15 to 25 euros, about 35 euros for an extended tour and about 50 euros with lunch, as listed in September 2026. Booking ahead is required. - Only 15 dairies offer visits year-round, according to the Consorzio in May 2026. - Under the production rules, coagulation, breaking the curd, cooking and settling must be finished by the end of the morning. The extraction, when the curd is lifted from the copper vat in linen, happens early. A visit at 11am typically misses it and shows the brining room and aging warehouse instead. - Caseificio Ugolotti on the east edge of Parma is reachable on the city's TEP line 23 bus from Parma station in about 14 to 17 minutes. Most dairies are far from public transport, which is the real argument for a tour. - Parmigiano Reggiano is made only from raw milk, salt and calf rennet, with a natural whey starter and no additives. It is aged at least 12 months with no maximum. It is naturally lactose-free and it is not vegetarian. - In the EU the name Parmesan may only be used for Parmigiano Reggiano (EU Court of Justice, case C-132/05, 2008). In the US, Parmesan is a generic federal standard (21 CFR 133.165) requiring at least 10 months of curing, from any origin. - The white crystals in aged Parmigiano Reggiano are tyrosine, an amino acid, not salt. The rind is natural and edible once cleaned. - Travellers cannot currently bring cheese from the EU into Great Britain for personal use; the ban has been in force since 12 April 2025. Hard cheese may enter the US if declared. - 4.19 million wheels were made in 2025. A wheel weighs at least 30 kg and about 40 kg on average; the Consorzio gives both 550 litres and about 520 litres of milk per wheel in different documents. ## Whether to book a dairy direct or take a tour If you have a car, or can take the line 23 bus to the dairy on the edge of Parma, book a visit direct through the Consorzio for about 15 to 35 euros and be there for the start of the morning. You need nothing else. The argument for a tour is transport: most dairies are rural and far from any bus, and a tour with pickup gets you to a working dairy at the right hour and usually adds a Parma ham and a balsamic vinegar stop. Choose by whether you drive, not by the cheese. ## Bookable tours listed on this site All booking links are GetYourGuide affiliate links (partner ID 7GG5I5H).
