"Parmigiano Reggiano undoubtedly reigns as king. Don't miss the chance to visit Caseificio San Bernardino or another official dairy where you can watch true artisans make this beloved cheese in essentially the same way as monks did in the Middle Ages. While gathering and splitting the curds into unwieldy 90 lb. wheels is impressive, the maturation facility — unofficially described as "the cathedral of cheese" — is breathtaking." - Alexandra Owens
