T<br />

he work of this splendid farm cum<br />

processing plant is concentrated in and<br />

around an old 17 th century farmhouse on the<br />

Molinasso estate near Carmagnola. The place<br />

has been owned by the Cravero family since 1922<br />

and is currently run by the versatile, professional<br />

Bartolomeo, and his equally talented wife Katia<br />

Gaidano. Right from the outset the family have<br />

bred Piedmontese cattle and large Po Valley<br />

pigs, as well as farm animals such as the Saluzzo<br />

white hen and the Carmagnola grey rabbit.<br />

The Craveros have always had an innate sense<br />

of the concept of animal well-being and feed<br />

their livestock on forage cultivated on their own<br />

farmland with GMO-free seeds. They also grow<br />

fruit and vegetables, including all the ecotypes<br />

of the Carmagnola pepper, which they sell both<br />

fresh and beautifully processed.<br />

Open Thursday and Friday from 8am to<br />

12.30pm and from 3pm to 7pm. Open all day<br />

on Saturday from 8am to 6pm.<br />
