Molino RoccatiThe Roccati family took over this mill in Candia back in 1961. Since then they have ground exclusively Piedmontese grains, from the most classic to heirloom varieties that recover ancient traditions and others produced according to the principles of proximity. One example of the latter is Stupinigi supply chain, for example, which is given over to low-gluten soft wheat grown inside the Stupinigi Nature Park. The mill stone-grinds and cylinder-mills heirloom corn varieties such as pignoletto rosso, pignoletto bianco, nostrano dell’isola and ostenga bianco, as well as buckwheat, spelt and rye. Since 2021 it has produced sourdough grissini with stone-ground flour. It also produces galettes with a blend of other cereals such as spelt, buckwheat and rye, or puffed brown and black Venere rice, and NòSTA, an unpasteurized amber ale beer brewed in Ivrea with self-produced corn. All products are on sale at the mill shop, open from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 12 noon and 2.30pm to 6pm, as well as online.
