produttori — Vicoforte · Piemonte
On the hills of the Monregalese, in Piazza Carlo Emanuele in Vicoforte, facing the Santuario, Alimentari Il Girasole is the shop where the territory takes centre stage: artisan cheeses, cured salumi and ready-made gastronomia, curated by Tiziana Belletrutti with the precision of someone who knows every producer.
On the counter at Il Girasole, among crates and wheels arranged with order, the selection begins with the cheeses: fresh tomette and traditional cheeses of the Cuneo territory, chosen among artisan producers from the surrounding valleys. Tiziana Belletrutti knows every ageing process and every pasture of origin: bringing a cheese into the shop means having already traced its entire history.
The ready-made gastronomia preparations are the shop's second act: dishes crafted with the same care reserved for selecting the ingredients. The hands at work follow the recipes of the Piedmontese territory, turning quality raw materials into specialities ready to bring to the table. A home-style kitchen that the shop makes available to those unwilling to give up the flavour of home cooking.
On the shelf, alongside jars and hand-tied parcels, sit the artisan salumi of Stagionatura Marchisio: a producer from the Cuneo territory whose care in ageing is recognisable from the very first slice. The shop is a chosen reseller, not a generic distributor: every item on offer meets a precise, documented selection criterion.
Il Girasole is the reference point for anyone seeking the flavours of the Monregalese without having to look far. Discover the full page.
