Celesia

During winters in the early 1950s, grandfather Beppino used to drive his herd from the Valle d’Aosta to the Canavese district. Here he fell in love with a local woman and decided to move for good. His youngest son, Adolfo, chose to follow in his footsteps as a breeder and farmer. The farm gradually expanded and in 2016 was taken over by Adolfo’s three sons, who now raise pigs and 250 Piedmontese cattle on self-produced forage and corn. The meat from the animals is sold fresh or used to make charcuterie such as salame della rosa, cacciatorini, boiled salami, lardo, boiled ham and local specialties such as salampatata (a very soft salami made with pork, lardo, boiled potatoes and spices). The farm also keeps hens for their eggs, which are very popular with customers, and Carmagnola gray rabbits, which are raised with a special eye to their welfare. At the farm shop you can also buy potatoes grown on the farm. It is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 8.30am to 12.00 noon and 3.30pm to 7pm.
