Regional Specialties in Lesignana
A particular focus is placed on the products of the dairy in Lesignana. The standard tasting at the dairy in Lesignana includes four maturation stages of Parmigiano Reggiano, ricotta, Tosone and Parmigiano-Reggiano cream served on bread. In the standard tasting, the four maturation stages form the focus on aged products; ricotta and Tosone expand the selection with additional cheese products. Accompaniments such as balsamic vinegar, honey, jams or preserves are also included, along with wine and water. This creates a broad culinary experience for you: aged cheese is served alongside fresh, creamy and sweet components, while vinegar, honey and preserves add further flavors. If regional specialties are among the most important criteria when choosing your trip to Italy, Lesignana can therefore also be explored through its tasting culture.
Tours and Culinary Experiences
Two additional offerings provide different highlights. A tour of Casa Giusti includes the family museum, the Antiche Acetaie and a concluding tasting of Giusti’s balsamic vinegars. At 4 Madonne Caseificio dell’Emilia, the tours are conducted by authorized guides. The offerings differ in their format: at Casa Giusti, the tour ends with a tasting, while at the Caseificio, authorized guides accompany the visit. When planning your trip, you can therefore take different culinary interests into account, choosing between the family museum, the acetaie, balsamic vinegar and a visit with authorized guides.
