GramagliaMacelleria Gramaglia, the butcher’s shop situated in the characteristic old town centre of Piobesi Torinese, is famous for its devotion to quality and respect for local artisan production techniques. Its meat is exclusively Piedmontese, all butchered by the Mosso family. Classic cuts such as hand-chopped raw veal and the ox meat for boiling and roasting are available all year round. Specialities include ham cooked the old-fashioned way (production limited to three legs a week), Piobesino, a delicately favoured raw salami made partly with beef, tripe, cotechino, veal sausages and hung rib of ox beef, well worth a try.
Owner Giuseppe’s wife Elisa and daughter Chiara prepare ready-to-serve roast beef, vitello tonnato, carpione (marinated veal), cuor di bufala (heart-shaped veal patty filled with buffalo mozzarella), veal roulades and much more besides. For some time now the shop has also specialised in finger foods to serve with drinks and at parties, featuring veal tartare with delicious accompaniments such as caramelised onion and pistachio, grana cheese and balsamic vinegar. Closed on Tuesday afternoon and Sunday.
