Monasterolo Casotto

In the quiet Cuneo valley where Monasterolo Casotto’s tiny population of 85 residents resides, alpine breezes and mountain soils shape 17 protected food and wine denominations. This high-altitude environment is the specific cradle for Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a legume that thrives in the cool, well-drained slopes of the area. The surrounding alpine pastures also fuel the production of Raschera DOP, a cheese deeply linked to these specific mountain grazing grounds. Here, low-intensity agriculture preserves unique culinary expressions, ensuring that these rare Piedmontese delicacies remain completely untainted by modern industrial farming.
