ristorazione — Gallio · Veneto
On the Asiago plateau, in Gallio, where high-altitude pastures dictate the flavours and time moves at a different pace, a shop founded in 1885 still holds to the same calling as ever. Five generations, one single story.
Since 1885, every morning the door of Alimentari Schivo has opened onto the same gesture: welcoming those in search of the best the Asiago plateau has to offer. Founded by the great-grandfather of the current owner in Gallio, the shop has reached its fifth generation without ever changing its calling — a case of commercial continuity that, in Italy's food trade, has become rare.
The counter is the heart of the shop: Asiago DOP cheese in its three ageings — dolce, mezzano and stravecchio — alongside Speck di Asiago and a selection of local cured meats. Each product carries the precise character of the plateau's pastures and woods, chosen with the same care the Schivo family has upheld for over a century.
The sandwiches are made to order, using products from the counter: fresh bread, cured meats, cheeses. Anyone stopping by during a bike ride or a walk across the plateau finds a service that is anything but improvised — the very same ingredients that fill the display cases are sliced and assembled on request, with the same care that sets the shop apart.
Among the products in selection is also Guoli honey, awarded the Ape d'Oro (Golden Bee) prize. The page tells every detail of this high-altitude shop.
