Embark on a captivating journey through the Parma region to witness the artistry behind the world-renowned Prosciutto di Parma. The tour begins with a scenic drive to a traditional farm in the heart of Parma, where the finest porks are raised and the legendary ham is crafted by skilled Italian masters. Upon arrival, you'll be introduced to the intricate process, starting with the careful selection of the finest pork legs, followed by the essential salting technique. Salting, performed by seasoned professionals, ensures the ham achieves its signature flavor and texture. The hams are then left to rest for 2 to 3 months, allowing the flavors to mature.
As you continue the tour, you'll explore the other key stages of ham-making, including washing, drying, greasing, and curing. Each step is crucial in perfecting the Prosciutto di Parma, and you'll learn about how the ham masters uphold the highest standards of quality throughout the process. The final touch is the branding, a mark of authenticity that confirms the ham's completion. To conclude the experience, enjoy a tasting of freshly sliced Prosciutto di Parma, paired with a glass of Malvasia dei Colli wine. This immersive tour blends tradition, craftsmanship, and the pleasures of Italian gastronomy, making it a must-do for anyone interested in the rich history of Parma’s iconic ham.

I took the Parmigiano Reggiano dairy and Parma ham tour!! Absolutely phenomenal. My guide personalized the tour for us and was extremely knowledgeable. Parma Look was extremely flexible and accomadating when there were no available taxis in the area to get me to the meeting location. They saved the day! Would take another tour with them for sure. All around stellr! I highly recommend! What a fantastic day!
We did the food valley E-bike tour and had such an enjoyable afternoon. We loved all the stops on the tour - particularly tasting plum jam with Enzo - and the countryside surrounding Parma was beautiful. The bikes were well maintained and comfortable. Having an ebike meant that we could choose how much effort to put in! Our tour guide Loris was warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable - we learnt so much about the region and it's food. Highly recommend going on a tour with this company!
Educational, enjoyable, and delicious! Our tour guide, Sergio, picked us up from our hotel and took us to two outstanding facilities. We had the opportunity to observe the production of Parmigiano Reggiano. Additionally, we had the pleasure of visiting a traditional Prosciutto producer, where we received a comprehensive education on the intricacies of how the product is made. Transportation, informative experiences, and, of course, some delightful treats were included.
Had a food tour yesterday and absolutely recommended to do everybody coming to this region! George was a great driver explaining us everything about the processes of Parma cheese & prosciutto. Very friendly, professional and easy communicating! The tasting was amazing and so yummy. Wish I had a large suitcase to take a whole prosciutto back home. Parma look, Thank you for making us our day!
We did the Parmigiano Reggiano and the ham tour and had a most delightful time with Loris who took us through both of the sites with comprehensive and engaging explanation. Besides knowing this stuff well, he also makes an effort to be personable and shared his personal experiences. Thanks for bringing us around!
