OUR PRODUCTS;

Our polenta is made with Pignoletto Rosso corn flour, which is an ancient corn variety, fragrant and tasty. This kind of corn was disappearing, until some corageous farmers decided to put it back on the market. It is created grinding the grains with stone and is sold by Molino Roccati.

Sometimes we also use polenta from Azienda Agricola Longo Mauro Antonio, they produce Marano integral corn flour, stone grinded, non-hybrid, non-transgenic, grown and produced on Monferrato hills with eco-friendly techniques.

Our cheese comes directly from Azienda Agricola Lussiana-Listello, during the summer they can be found in Sellery Inferiore mountain pasture, located on the trail that reaches our refuge. We also buy cheese from Azienda Agricola f.lli Lussiana and Azienda Agricola Lussiana Erminio.

Meat and cold cuts come from Salumifico Nigro and Macelleria f.lli Cavallo di Cuneo.
