CelesiaA lovely shop, not far from the SS460 road that crosses the Canavese area. We are in the southern part of Rivarolo, an area on the outskirts of Turin where the tradition of breeding Piedmontese cattle is still vibrant and active. One example is the Celesia family; with over 80 hectares of farmland, their farm is able to produce fodder, maize and barley to feed their 250 head of animals.
The shop is the right place to find quality meat for every need, like steaks with and without a bone and cuts for preparing bollito misto, plus seasonal specialties such as jellied meat (in summer) and agnolotti, thanks to a collaboration with the Caravino pasta maker Il Castello (also a Maestro del Gusto). Alongside cattle they also rear pigs, whose meat is used to make other specialties come such as ham, salame delle rose and cacciatorini. Completing the offering are their own eggs and potatoes. The shop is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8.30am to 12.30pm and 4pm to 7pm.
