V
alter Villata’s family farm breeds
dairy cattle and works the land to
produce selected hay for their byres. The
resulting short-supply chain ensures the
quality of the end-products, cheeses of
many typologies, mostly Piedmontese. From
April to October, the herds graze on the
farm’s land. The milk of the Brune Alpine
and Pezzata Rossa cows is used to make
Ricotta, Primosale, Stracchino, Robiola,
various types of Tomini, Toma, blue cheeses
sweet and sharp and Taleggio (known here
as Ticinello). Their product catalogue also
includes bottled raw milk, fruit-flavored
yogurt and cream desserts.
Produce may be bought directly at the farm
shop, open to the public from Thursday
to Saturday, or at the markets in Chieri,
Carmagnola and Poirino (the closest to
Pralormo), or further afield in San Damiano
and Monticello d’Alba.
