produttori — Torino · Piemonte
In Turin, on Corso Racconigi, a family-run butcher's shop has worked for over fifty years on a simple principle: choosing the meat before it reaches the counter, directly at the Piedmontese farms where it originates.
The marble counter on Corso Racconigi receives meats selected by hand in the barns of Piedmontese farms. Not a catalogue, but a choice: every cut is chosen directly at the source, before it even enters the shop. It is from this gesture — the visit to the farm, the direct verification — that the traceability Il Macellaio has guaranteed for over fifty years is born.
The hands that work here carry the weight of half a century of family craft. The battuta al coltello (hand-chopped tartare, cut with a knife rather than ground) — an artisanal preparation that allows no shortcuts — is the gesture that best tells this continuity: a technique handed down, performed every day with the same care it has always been given, with no machines standing in for the precision of the blade.
Alongside the fresh meats, the shelf carries the shop's own delicatessen production: cooked and cured salumi, meat and vegetable preparations made daily by the in-house cook. The entire production is exclusively gluten-free, a choice that is not a label but a precise working method, applied to every preparation without exception.
From selection in the barn to everyday delicatessen fare: the page tells every detail of this Turin shop.
