Barberis

The Barberis butcher’s shop boasts a history of top-quality Piedmontese meat that makes it a benchmark for Turin’s Santa Rita quarter. Opposite the busy market, the shop is run by Piercarlo, who represents the fourth generation of the family that have owned it since it was established by his grandfather’s brother in 1928.

Here the product range is proudly traditional and Piedmontese, with the fassone veal of Coalvi, the Piedmontese Cattle Breed Protection Consortium, and a series of typical local specialities: Bra veal sausage, milk-fed veal, boiled salami and, in winter, all seven cuts to make textbook “bollito misto”.

In addition to fresh meat, also on sale are ten or so ready meals, also Piedmontese classics, such as meat loaf and capunet, stuffed cabbage.
