BoettoThe Boetto family have been in the butchery business, producing and selling quality meat, for four generations. Their shop is in Pont Canavese, the production workshop in Pratidonio, a small hamlet on the outskirts, and they select the finest Piemontese cattle at livestock farms in the region. The various cuts are hung for varying amounts of time to allow them to acquire the right softness and develop the best flavours and aromas. Roasting meat, short ribs, minute steaks, loin fillet – here customers are spoilt for choice. The shop also stocks pork from local Canavese pig farms. Lengthy processing without artificial aromas or colouring agents produces excellent charcuterie such as the dry-salted Pont raw ham and the 100% pork Pra d’la Fera raw salami. Since the early nineties, the Boetto family has also run a trout farm using the drinkable spring water from their property: their cold-smoked trout fillets should be eaten as they are to appreciate their flavour and quality.
