🏡 Tastings & visitsParmigiano Reggiano DOP

Founded in 1936 in Lesignano de' Bagni, Azienda Agricola Iris crafts Parmigiano Reggiano DOP from milk produced solely on its own farm, a rare practice among regional dairies. Since 1987, the family operation has unified production and maturation under one roof, preserving the twelve-month aging that yields the cheese's signature fine-grained flaky texture. From 1997, the farm transitioned entirely to organic protocols, controlling every stage from forage to wheels. Visitors discover how three generations maintained this vertical approach while modernizing facilities.
