PittiIf you stop by the Pasticceria Pitti to have breakfast or to buy one of the splendid cakes or to drink an aperitif, you’ll be won over by the owners’ passion for their ingredients: from the flour used in the bakery, made from grain grown in the fields of the area and ground in the mill at Montalto, to the corn from their own fields, everything here talks local and top quality. To guarantee wholesomeness, the ingredients used are not treated with chemicals and some – such as the blueberries, strawberries, lavender and herbs that go ito the essential oil for the confectionery – are self-grown. Other products used include beer from Cuorgnè and the wine served as an aperitif is an Erbaluce spumante, produced in collaboration with local winegrowers and aged in the balmetti, or natural cellars, of Borgofranco. The electricity, which is produced entirely from renewable sources, and the packaging, which is almost completely recyclable, add value to an establishment that is the pride of the area.
