Caseificio Rosola

We booked a tour (English guide can be coordinated) and had an amazing time. Paola the guide met us at the entrance, got us dressed in clean robes and show protectors and we went straight to the production room. Received explanation about the process, the history and traditions, as well as the rules dictated by the D.O.P. Consortium, and watched the team in action. Paola walked us through the preparation process, the 20 days’ brine in huge salt pools, and the aging room. Apparently this dairy uses milk of white cows (Vacche Blanke) which is sweeter and the difference can be traced. The tour concluded with a (very) generous tasting of cheese, wine, bread, and even an espresso for the way. Highly recommend to pre-book a tour. If you are short in time, at least buy some white cow Parmigiano.

Wonderful factory tour, we learned a lot about the process of making a parmegiano regisno cheese! It is impressive the history and all the steps required. The guide was very nice and answered everything with all the details. The cheese is amazing, delicious!

Caseificio Rosola is nestled in a picturesque, hilly mountain pass between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. We visited it on our way from Bologna to Florence, enjoying stunning views along the car route. The Parmigiano here is excellent and offered at very reasonable prices. You can also find other unique regional products, such as chestnut marmalade, in the adjacent grocery store. The private tour for two was a fascinating insight into the art of cheese-making. Thank you, Daniela and the team, for making it such a special experience!

Hands down, the best Parmigiano I've had. We brought several kilos home from a visit two years ago and sadly, I just opened up the last wedge of the 50 mesi vacca bianca today. It's time to go back and stock up soon. It's a very special dairy.

Had a fantastic tour in a small group, our guide was very knowledgable. The staff throughout the dairy were all friendly and welcoming. We did the tasting session at the end of the tour - generous portions! We left happy weighed down by parmigiano and panna cotta from the farm shop!

I would give 10 stars if I could. Lovely visit, we saw all steps, degustazione was incredible, honest price, and here is the home of the Vacca bianca, only cheesemakers that have it. A must for any cheese lover.

The cheese and yogurts are very good. The problem is that they don't give discounts if you are buying really a lot, like 100 eur or more like we did. I find them greedy in that degree. Also, they tried to cheat. I bought stuff for 9 eur but they lied to me that it's 11 eur. I'm pretty sure that they are cheating for bigger amounts as well. So, watch out.

Cinzia was so kind and gave us an amazing, tour, tasting and gifts!
