Appreciate the produce is of premium quality and value however to pay 15€ each for the tour you would anticipate a tasting afterwards. There is a little restaurant on site and this is your only way to try the produce! So to try their black pig prosciutto of which we learnt so much of on the tour we had to pay and additional 15€. Plus on arrival we were greeted very friendly, and asked if we wanted a coffee while we waited for the tour to start this was then added to the bill at the end. All in all a wonderful tour but felt very commercial to not even try their produce and a very expensive way to enjoy the delicious meat.

Now the black pigs are left to roam freely in their natural habitat without being fed and forced to breed intensively (unlike the production of parma ham). Everything happens naturally which means healthier pigs and tastier prosciutto! We were so lucky to have toured the production factory, the cellar as well as visiting the black pigs to see them in their natural habitat with Monica, our wonderful guide. We also had lunch at the bar and loved all their cured ham, raw milk cheese and seasonal fruits. Definitely a treat! We didn't drive this time but have no problem taking a taxi from Parma train station (cost about 30 EURO and takes 20 minutes). There is a bus that would take you back to Parma station too on your way back.
