Silvio Brarda di Luca Gandione

Silvio Brarda and his wife Elvira took over this butcher’s shop in the center of Cavour in 1971. It’s now run by their daughter Enrica and her husband Luca Gandione, who are carrying on the good work of this renowned business (open from Thursday to Saturday) with passion. The star of the show is ox meat, which they also smoke, while white meats come exclusively from free-range local poultry. The raw ground veal is passed with a special grill that makes it seem hand-chopped. In the deli department, the fillings of the fresh pasta, which varies with the seasons, and the agnolotti are prepared fresh, and customers can choose from four different varieties. Other products include liver pâté and finanziera (a typical Piedmontese dish of cow’s and poultry offal). Bollito, boiled beef, is also available vacuum-packed with its classic accompaniment, bagnet verd, garlic and parsley sauce. One day a week, the shop makes home deliveries in Turin.
