With our cheese tasting experience, we want to take you to discover an unseen face of the Langhe and Roero area, which has been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site for its wine-growing landscapes; this part of Piedmont actually holds within it a wealth to be discovered that is not only made up of exceptional world-famous wines, but also of many other typical products, such as the world-famous hazelnuts and the extraordinary cheeses we see in our proposal.

For us, behind any product, there is a story to be told; a story made up of people and traditions that are worth discovering; it is precisely the experiences in contact with those who produce these excellences that can make us understand and transmit the concept of a different life, governed by the rhythms of nature, animals and the seasons, rhythms that we often forget taken by our daily tasks, many times far from the nature of which we are made.

The Chestnut Granda: A Giant of the Roero

In the heart of the Roero, among steep hills and dense woods, lies a natural monument, the Castagna Granda. This centuries-old chestnut tree, with its imposing presence and broad, lush foliage, is more than just a tree: it is a silent witness to the past and a living symbol of the power of nature.

The Castagna Granda, with its intertwined and twisted trunks, is a spectacle in every sense. Its bark, the gnarled branches, the history it has seen pass in their surroundings. About 400 years old and 10 meters in circumference. A colossus, a gentle giant, lying in the meadow and surrounded by other towering chestnut trees.

Walking under its canopy, especially on summer days, is a magical experience. The cool, welcoming shade will protect you and provide a moment of respite and, why not, meditation. In autumn, when its fruits ripen, the surrounding ground becomes covered with chestnuts that locals carefully harvest, continuing a tradition that is repeated year after year.

This monumental tree and the woods in the surrounding area are habitats for a number of local wildlife species.

Visiting the Chestnut Granda means carving out a time of peace and serenity. A SLOW time as we like it! It is the ideal place for your picnic, where you can enjoy the flavors of the Roero surrounded by nature.

If you are looking for a corner of paradise where you can reflect, relax and reconnect with nature, the Castagna Granda is waiting for you with open arms, ready to share its ancient wisdom and eternal beauty with you.

The Magic of Saffron

In the heart of the Roero, saffron also grows. A delicate and fascinating flower, with its lilac petals and precious red stigmas, it requires passion, dedication and respect for nature.

Saffron cultivation is an art that requires patience and meticulous care. When the saffron flowers bloom, harvesting takes place. Precision work that takes place at dawn, when the flowers are still closed, to preserve the quality of the stigmas. Each flower is picked by hand with extreme delicacy, a gesture that is repeated dozens and dozens of times.

After harvesting, the flowers are taken to the laboratory, where the most delicate stage begins: the separation of the stigmas. Only the three central red filaments will be taken from each flower and then dried, a process that takes place with great care to keep the extraordinary aromatic and coloring properties of saffron intact.

The result of this process is a spice of the highest quality, known and appreciated not only in Italy but also abroad. Saffron is renowned for its intense aroma, brilliant color and unique flavor, which enriches traditional and innovative dishes with a touch of magic.

Growing saffron is a choice of love for the land and its traditions. You will find it on this tour and can satisfy your curiosity with the grower-producers.
