Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Museum
Collecting material for the museum took place in all 5 provinces where Parmigiano-Reggiano is produced. The objects on display can be placed in a time frame between the second half of the XIX century and the first half of the XX century.
Given the relative homogeneity of the material it was decided to lay out the exhibition as though we were getting the antique cheese factory of the Meli-Lupi family ready for action. In fact, all objects necessary for the transformation of milk are present in the oldest part of the building, whereas in the newer part those elements of the production process which do not involve transformation are arranged. Thus we can find here the maturing process, marketing and sales, as well as information about use of the cheese in gastronomy and its history.
The cheese making plant is special for its circular structure which makes it a particularly prized building in terms of its large size, harmonious both inside and out and the decorative order throughout.
