Join a fascinating tour and visit a farm in the Parma region to discover how the world renowned Prosciutto di Parma is made. This immersive experience will take you through every stage of the production process, from the careful selection of pork legs to the final branding of the ham.
The journey begins with a convenient pick up at the meeting point, where a driver will escort you to a traditional farm in Parma. Here, you will learn about the unique farming practices that ensure only the highest quality pigs are raised, leading to the creation of this iconic Italian product.
The process starts with the selection of prime pork legs, followed by the delicate salting process, which must be performed by experienced professionals to achieve the perfect balance of flavor. After salting, the hams rest for 2 to 3 months to allow the flavors to develop and intensify.
Throughout the tour, you’ll hear about the other essential phases of ham production, including washing, drying, greasing, curing, and, finally, branding, which marks the completion of the ham's journey to becoming Prosciutto di Parma.
To end the tour, indulge in a tasting of the freshly made Parma Ham, savoring its rich flavor and quality, perfectly complemented by a glass of Malvasia dei Colli wine, a regional specialty. This tour offers a truly authentic insight into one of Italy’s most famous culinary traditions.

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!
