What travellers says ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Margaret - United Kingdom
The glass-walled tour through the aging rooms was fascinating, and that five-month reserve Lardo with candied chestnuts was pure heaven.
Julien - France
Loved the Franbon with genepy and the Boudin sausage, all paired perfectly with a robust local red wine and warm hospitality.
Sofia - Brazil
As a non-drinker I appreciated the blueberry and apricot juices, and finishing with coffee and Tegole cookies felt like a sweet mountain hug.

Full description

Discover an immersive gastronomical experience in the scenic Valle d'Aosta with a guided tour of a traditional cured meat factory, resembling a mountain hut, in Arnad, very famous for its iconic lardo.

Begin your culinary journey with a walk along a corridor that encircles the production facility, featuring large glass windows through which you can observe the aging rooms and production areas of the finest cured meats. This insightful visit is supported by an expert collaborator who provides detailed explanations of the craftsmanship and aging processes involved.

Following the tour, enjoy a tasting session in a dedicated tasting room. The selection is rich and diverse, starting with a full platter of local cured meats, including the iconic Lardo DOP, available in its classic three-month aging and a five-month reserve, complemented by naturally candied chestnuts to create a delightful contrast of flavors.

The tasting also includes Mocetta bovina, Franbon, an aromatic prosciutto crudo flavored with genepy, Coppa al ginepro, Boudin—a traditional sausage with potatoes and beets—and other exclusive specialties from Maison Bertolin.

To enhance the experience, a variety of local cheeses, such as the renowned Fontina DOP, are offered alongside a glass of fine Valle d'Aosta red wine. For minors or those who prefer non-alcoholic options, there are various locally produced fruit juices available, including apple, blueberry, apricot, strawberry, and forest fruits.

The session concludes with a traditional coffee accompanied by Tegole, hazelnut-based cookies that are a classic confection of the region, providing a perfect sweet finish to this authentic Valle d'Aosta gastronomic journey.
