Salumeria Cocconato

A Classic Piedmontese Deli

A proper Piedmontese salumeria in the heart of Cocconato — cured meats, local cheeses and regional pantry products, assembled without concession to the tourist market and stocked with the things that people in this territory actually eat. The selection of local salumi includes lardo aged in the traditional Piedmontese style, carne cruda all'Albese (the raw Fassone beef preparation that is one of the signature dishes of this region), and a range of aged cheeses from the Monferrato and the surrounding hills.

The ideal stop for a hillside picnic or to bring a genuine taste of the territory home — a combination that works regardless of the season. Everything on the counter is local, most of it is produced within a reasonable radius, and the people behind the counter know the producers personally. Open daily except Sunday afternoon; fifteen minutes from Bric del Vento.
