See Italy’s most famous cheese being made

Parmigiano Reggiano is still made by hand, every morning, in small dairies across Emilia-Romagna. Arrive early to watch the cheesemakers at work, from the copper vats to the brine baths.

Then walk through the ageing rooms and taste wheels of different ages, up to 40 months, to understand what time does to the cheese.
