Overview

Experience the most authentic Emilia: Parmigiano Reggiano, Traditional Balsamic Vinegar and homemade cuisine in an ancient family house in the hills of Modena. An intimate, genuine experience far from the tourist routes.
We will start with a visit to a local dairy to learn about the production of Parmigiano Reggiano, from processing to seasoning, with final tasting.
Then we will move to my family home, a place where recipes and traditions are handed down. Here you will discover the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar and taste different types.
Afterwards, you will take part in a cooking class of Emilia to prepare tortelloni ricotta and spinach according to the real recipes of grandmother.
We will conclude around the table with a home-cooked lunch: fresh pasta, local cheeses, honey, bread, Lambrusco, water and coffee.
An ideal experience for those who really want to know the local culture and experience Modena through its most authentic flavors. Pick-up on request.

I will welcome you in an intimate and genuine environment, where you will discover traditions that have been handed down for generations. You will visit our small private vinegar factory, where the barrels of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena rest: you will be able to closely observe the maturation process and taste different types, including finer vintages. Afterwards, you will take part in a cooking class in Emilia to learn how to prepare my grandmother's original recipes. After the cooking class we will sit together to enjoy a home-cooked lunch prepared with local ingredients: fresh pasta, cheese, honey, Cabin bread, typical dessert and a good glass of Lambrusco. A perfect experience for those who want to get to know Emilia from the inside, immersing themselves in the flavors and stories of a real Modena family.
